Tim Berners-Lee Sir Tim Berners-Lee was born on June 8, 1955 in London, England. His parents were Mary Lee Wood and Conway Berners-Lee who were both Mathematicians and Computer Programmers. He was raised as only child and went to Emmanuel School in Wadsworth, England. He was a student at Oxford University where he studied physics and got his Bachelors of Science in Physics. While there he made computers out of spare parts. He was banned from the schools computers because he was caught hacking. After

Introduction As an educator in the 21st century the students desire an education that is both meaningful and engaging. The big question is how can educators ensure that this happens? The answer may be to incorporate the use of technology or more specifically with the use of Web 2.0 tools. Web 2.0 has various strengths and benefits for promoting successful learning yet educators are not always aware of the various resources and tools available to them. This study will go in-depth to discover
Is Information on the Net Invalid? In his essay, “Picking Nits on the Net,” John Oughton reminds Internet users that information on the Net does not have a guarantee of authenticity, so it must be carefully evaluated. Oughton gives some examples and also provides some useful advice on evaluating information on the Internet. Oughton’s writing is well supported by reasonable arguments, informative and very useful, and the examples that he uses are commonly encountered by most Internet users; however
Chapter 1 An Introduction to Ubiquitous Computing .1.History. Ubiquitous computing is the term given to the third age of computing. The first age was defined by the mainframe computers an owned by an organization and used by many people at the same time. Second came the age of the PC or a personal Computer usually owned and used by one person. The third age ubiquitous computing, representative of the present time, is characterized by the explosion of small networked portable. Computer products in
The World Wide Web “The Web does not just connect machines, it connects people” (Tim Berners-Lee). Tim Berners-Lee wanted to create a way for physicists to communicate information easily between one another. He ended up creating one of the most highly used pieces of software on the internet today and an incredibly versatile way of sharing information globally. The Web had become such a big part of our everyday lives that a lot of us would not know what to do without it. Some people do not fully understand
things people can do with the web. The options are endless.The World Wide Web was invented in 1989 by Tim Berner-Lee. Tim Berner-Lee was working at a research facility,(CERN), as a software engineer. CERN had software engineers performing many experiments. When they were finished they would return to the regular place of business and would have no way of contacting one another. At this time Tim Berner-Lee understood the idea of connecting all computers together, and this was the beginning of the Internet
On March 2009, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Web (CERN, 2009).With internet users accounting for 28.5% of the world population in June 2010 (Internet World Stats, 2011), the web's growth and use have become an integral part of modern day living whether for business or entertainment. Its impact and usage in today's world is even more remarkable considering its humble beginnings and origin. For many people the differences between the
technology that would later become the internet. (Cerf and Kahn) The Web was developed by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau in 1990. In 1989, while working at CERN, both men made proposals for hypertext systems. In 1990, they decided to work together and developed a joint proposal in which the term "World Wide Web" was created. Later, Tim Berners-Lee would go on to write the first web browser. (Berners-Lee) Upon its birth, the internet changed the world and more so progressed globalization. Although
Development of Internet and WWW Echo G In the modern society, more and more people began to use the computers. Whether from the aspects of work, life or entertainment, a great increasing number of people more rely on the computers. People use computers for work conference, using computers to net shopping, sometime people also watch some TV shows and movies on a computer. All this shows us that the computers' position become more and more high in humans lives. Computers, however, is not the only
the cloning of Dolly the Sheep paved the way for the new values the world knows today. Dolly the Sheep was created in Scotland in 1996, becoming the first successfully cloned mammal. The formation of the World Wide Web in 1990 is credited to Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau. The World Wide Web is an online system that allows anyone to access information and communicate with other people when connected to the internet. Another monumental invention of this decade is the Hubble Space Telescope, which
(What is a Web Browser?). A web browser allows a user to access videos, pictures and text information once a topic is searched (What is a Web Browser?). The first web browser was invented in the 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He named it the WorldWide Web and later was called Nexus. (Berners-Lee) In 1993, a guy by the name of Marc Andreessen released Mosaic, which was considered “the world’s first popular browser (Andreessen).” This just made the WorldWide Web to be easier navigated by the user. This
about the web in such a short time? Basically the web is a service that has been used through the Internet network, as like many other kind of services, however the World Wide Web became very popular when it arrived in the 1980s by its inventor Tim Berners-Lee, because the technology of the computer networks has been developing effectively and repeatedly. Furthermore, the web beca... ... middle of paper ... ...n, Orion Business. Gilster, P. (1997), The Web Navigator, Canada, John Wiley & Sons,
affected the United States. In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the WWW, which was about 20 years after the first connection was established over what today is called the Internet. Back in 1989, Berners-Lee was a software engineer at CERN, the largest particle physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland (WWW Foundation 1). Berners-Lee had proposed a set of technologies that could make the Internet available and useful to many people. However, at first, Berners-Lee’s proposal was not accepted, but he
of Web Development and Design According to World Wide Web pioneer Timothy Berners-Lee, the World Wide Web's initial purpose was to provide "an interactive world of shared information through which people could communicate with each other and with machines" (1996: p 1). Originally developed at the European Center of Nuclear Energy (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, the Web emerged in 1989 as a way for Dr. Berners-Lee and some of his distant associates to work on particle physics projects. He designed
What would a computer be like if the web browser was never created? What would the internet be like? What would the internet be used for without a way to browse it? The first web browser was developed by Tim Berners-Lee in the year 1991. It was called the WorldWideWeb. The second browser was developed by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina in 1993. This browser was called the NCSA Mosaic and featured integrated graphics, something browsers didn’t have at the time that had an effect on all the browsers
wasn't until 1986 and the National Science Foundation's (NSF) construction of a university network called NSFNet that the Internet truly began to take off. In the 1990s the Internet, as a shared network, began to gain in popularity. In 1991, Tim Berners-Lee published the very first web site to the internet, eleven years after he first proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers (History of the Internet, Wikipedia). The very
Berners-Lee’s creation of the world wide web has allowed millions upon millions of people to connect and share their ideas in a way that is instantaneous and free. Accessing the internet itself costs no money, it’s acquiring the connection that often costs
off the bottom picture is an example of what HTML appears now. HTML was developed in the 1980’s by Tim Berners-Lee as simply a system to share documents within his company at CERN. He then came up with the idea of a hypertext, a text shown on a computer screen or any type of electronic device, on the internet to simplify things more. HTML was then officially made in the early 1990s. At the time Berners considered it to be an application of SGML which stands for Standard Generalized Markup Language
The internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the internet protocol suite to link several billon devices worldwide (Wikipedia). The internet is sometimes simply referred to as the ‘Net’ or the “online world”, is now the most ubiquitous or universal conveyor of electronic information (Gourley). The term internet essentially refers to the broadcasting, transfer, and reconstruction of digitally-coded data between two or more machines equipped with computer chips. For the
