How does the world wide web work?
You use a "browser" and related computer software to "connect" your computer to information sources connected to the web somewhere else, making copies of data files or streams that your computer can display, store, play, run, or whatever.
How long ago was the internet invented?
Glad you asked what year the Internet begin
The Internet has been used by the military over the last several decades. Even as far back as the 60s and 70s. The world wide web as we know it began in 1989 and Tim Berners Lee was the person responsible for the browsing we know.
Why computer is important in the modren world?
Computer is important now-a-days, because it saves labors.......We also can say that computer as a labour saving machine. At ancient time there was need of 5 peoples to work on a data but now-a-days just by 1 person it is possible, through a computer, thourgh a database.
How has the internet affected the world?
Globalization has affected the world by helping technology spread around the world. It has helped us keep better communication with other counties. I am only 11 and I can answer this question ( on a 6th grade level ) so if this helps you it is fantastic for me.
The Internet was created as a project in 1958 by the United States Government ARPA (The Advanced Research Projects Agency) to network computers in order to gain a technological, and potentially a military advantage over the Soviets in the middle of the cold war. It was then used to connect several universities together forming the ARPANET so that they could assist in military and or technological research. Later the "internet" was opened to the common user and the name ARPANET was dropped.
The World Wide Web was originated in the UK by Tim Berners Lee (while working at CERN), as a user friendly layer on top of the already existing internet. He developed software for the World Wide Web and it became available from 1991 The World Wide Web is not the same thing as the Internet. The "Web" as it is called is simply a software application that uses the internet infrastructure to send data between devices running that particular application software.

What is the history of the world wide web?
Brief history of a single computer:
- built
- sold
- used
- trashed/scrapped
Brief history of computers in general is much too long to post here, if thats what you really wanted. Besides if I had enough information to write it I'd write a book, hoping to make money, not posting it here for free.
Was ARPANET the first to use the Internet?
ARPANet was the forerunner to the modern internet. After World War II the American Government set up the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). One of their tasks was that they had to design a communications system that would not collapse if part of it was knocked out by a bomb. ARPANet was the result of this, in about 1969. In the following decades more networks were set up and linked together. Common standards between all these systems were agreed upon and in 1989, the internet came into being.
Who was the first person to find out about ISP?
DARPA, but you connected through a special minicomputer they provided called an IMP. It wasn't called the internet then, it was ARPANET. It was not available to the public: only government and university sites.
Prof. Andrew Burt, of the University of Denver, was slightly earlier, creating Nyx (then nyx.cs.du.edu, now nyx.net) in January 1989.
yes, of course Spike llacqua was one of the first technical brain behind providing an ISP but PSINetwas one of the first company for providing an ISP. (Internet Service Provider).
Barry Shein started an ISP from the unix consulting company Tool & Die in 1989, it was for USENET News.
Most general purpose computers support multiple users simultaneously. Pretty much anything that runs Linux, Windows, or Mac OS have this capability.
Can you still the history on your computer after you deleted on your web browser?
yes-- hit "start" then "programs" then "accessories" then "system tools" then "system restore" then click "next" & choose date you want it to restore back to so it will check history again. click "next again" & then "restart" so after that you can do "control/H" for history and it will be restored back to the date you chose to see the browsing history deleted.

When was the computer developed?
Despite popular conception, it was not Bill Gates. Software dates back to way before Bill Gates was born (20 years). In fact, "The first theory about software was proposed by Alan Turing in his 1935 essay On Computable numbers with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem."
It has generally been concluded that the first person to write computer programs as they are understood today was Ada Augusta Countess of Lovelace in late 1842. These programs were written to run on Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine (the first general purpose programmable digital computer invented), had it ever been built.
Some people try to claim that as these programs never actually ran on a machine that they don't count, or that Babbage contributed more to these programs than she did. Careful readings of their letters at the time indicate:
- she selected the problems to be programmed
- Babbage provided mathematical formula and requirements only on the most complex of these problems, on review she found several grave errors in his math and returned his notes for clarification and correction
- she was entirely responsible for the design of the programs to solve these problems
- she was entirely responsible for coding the programs to solve these problems
