WWW project

The first web browser, the "World Wide Web", was developed in1990 by Tim Berners-lee. The first web browser - or browser-editor rather - was called,WorldWideWeb when it was written in 1990 it was the only way to see the web. Much later it was renamed Nexus in order to save confusion between the program and the abstract information space. The program was written on a neXT computer due to all the features at the time. https://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/WorldWideWeb.html 

Following that a student at Cornell law school in 1992 Developed "cello". Cello was released in June of 1993 and it was one of the first graphical web browsers to run on windows at the time. 

In September of 1993 a software came out and was dubbed the "Killer Application" of the internet. It was the first web browser to display images inline with the documents text. Before now the browsers would just display an icon that when clicked, would download and open the graphic file in another application called a "helper application" just to see the image. We truly take for granted how amazing browsers and the internet have come in general. I knew some of the newer features we have are amazing, but I didn't realize how amazing until reading about that. I would have never thought of it being a problem for a image and text to share the same page. Thats not even something that slightly crosses my mind. Not only do you have to create a program to display words, you then have to create a follow up applications to look at the pictures involved with it. The internet seems to have moved in baby steps for so long in the begging stages and it so interesting.

Tim Berners-Lee was a British computer scientist and the  creator of the World wide web and a few other fundamental things used on the internet everyday. By October of 1990 time had wrote HTML: Hyper Text Markup. The markup language for the web. URI uniform resource Identifier, or a "address" that is unique and used to identify to each resource on web, aka URL. Lastly he created HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Witch allows for the retrieval of linked resources from across the web. 

“In those days, there was different information on different computers, but you had to log on to different computers to get at it. Also, sometimes you had to learn a different program on each computer. Often it was just easier to go and ask people when they were having coffee…”, Tim says.

The first person to give IE a run for their money was Mozilla's Firefox released in 2004. Firefox was designed to address issues with speed and security that had been problems with IE from the beginning. in 2008 Google launched Chrome, the first browser with isolated tabs, meaning if one tab crashed the whole browser would still be opperational. By 2013 chrome became the most used browser passing IE and Firefox. https://www.britannica.com/topic/World-Wide-Web

With every new advancement in technology comes pros in cons. The overall ability to gain knowledge when ever you need, being able to have a middle ground for the whole world to share new facts and research along with being able to communicate across the world is amazing. I feel as though the pros far out way the cons of loosing overall personal security and having someone track most of your movements. It sounds horrible on paper but they just do not out weigh how many benefits it brings to everyones every day life.
