Unit 1 Assignment

1.Define the Following Terms.


 Internet
Internet, a system architecture that has revolutionized communications and methods of
commerce by allowing various computer networks around the world to interconnect. Sometimes
referred to as a “network of networks,” the Internet emerged in the United States in the 1970s but
did not become visible to the general public until the early 1990s. By 2020, approximately 4.5
billion people, or more than half of the world’s population, were estimated to have access to the
Internet.
 WWW
World Wide Web (WWW), byname the Web, the leading information retrieval service of the
Internet (the worldwide computer network). The Web gives users access to a vast array of
documents that are connected to each other by means of hypertext or hypermedia links—i.e.,
hyperlinks, electronic connections that link related pieces of information in order to allow a user
easy access to them. Hypertext allows the user to select a word or phrase from text and thereby
access other documents that contain additional information pertaining to that word or phrase.
Hypermedia documents feature links to images, sounds, animations, and movies. The Web
operates within the Internet’s basic client-server format; servers are computer programs that store
and transmit documents to other computers on the network when asked to, while clients are
programs that request documents from a server as the user asks for them. Browser software
allows users to view the retrieved documents.
A hypertext document with its corresponding text and hyperlinks is written in Hyper Text
Markup Language (HTML) and is assigned an online address called a Uniform Resource Locator
(URL).
