The world wide web came into being in 1991. thanks to the developer Tim berners-lee and the other at the European laboratory for Particle Physics, also known as conseil in European pour la Recherche nucleure the (CERN). The CERN team created the protocol based on hypertext that make it possible to connect content on the web with hyperlinks. Berners Lee now direct the worldwide web Consortium (W3C), a group of industry and University representative that of overseas the standard of web technology.
Early on, the internet was limited to non commercial uses because its backbone was provided largely by the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and space Administration and the U. S. department of energy, and funding came from the government. But as independent networks begin to Spring up, users could access commercial web sites without using the government funded network. By the end of 1992, the first commercial online service provider. Delphi, offered full internet access to it subscriber, and several other providers followed.
in June 1993, the web boosted just 130 sides. by a year later, the number had risen to nearly 3000. By April 1998, there were more than 2.2 millions sites on the web.
Today, the internet is a public Cooperative, self sustaining facility accessible to hundred of millions of people worldwide. Physically, the internet uses a portion of the total resources of the currently existing public telecommunication networks. Technically, what distinguish the internet is its use of set of protocol called TCP/IP (for transmission control protocol internet protocol). Two recent application of internet technology, the intranet and the extranet, also make use of TCP/ IP Protocol.
