What was invented in 1947?

In 1947, Ratheon demonstrated the world's first commercial microwave oven and called it a "Ranarange". It weight 750 pounds and was over five feet tall! It was used in restaurants, railroad cars, and ocean liners. In 1953, Tappan introduced the first home model for $1295.

What language did Tim Berners-Lee write?

HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language) is used to display web pages on the Internet.

What was the name of the first web browser released?

22/09/2006: Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the World Wide Web together with Robert Cailliau, built the first working prototype in late 1990 and early 1991. That first prototype consisted of a web browser for the NeXTStep operating system. This first web browser, which was named "WorldWideWeb," had a graphical user interface and would be recognizable to most people today as a web browser. However, WorldWideWeb did not support graphics embedded in pages when it was first released.

You can learn more about the original "WorldWideWeb" browser from Tim Berners-Lee himself.

Since WorldWideWeb had a graphical user interface (GUI), it could be called a graphical web browser. However, it did not display web pages with graphics embedded in them That did not happen until the arrival of NCSA Mosaic 2.0.

The first graphical web browser to become truly popular and capture the imagination of the public was NCSA Mosaic. Developed by Marc Andreessen, Jamie Zawinski and others who later went on to create the Netscape browser, NCSA Mosaic was the first to be available for Microsoft Windows, the Macintosh, and the Unix X Window System, which made it possible to bring the web to the average user. The first version appeared in March 1993. The "inline images," such as the boutell.com logo at the top of this page, that are an integral part of almost every web page today were introduced by NCSA Mosaic 2.0, in January of 1994. Mosaic 2.0 also introduced forms.

Netscape is the browser that introduced most all of the remaining major features that define a web browser as we know it. The first version of Netscape appeared in October 1994 under the code name "Mozilla." Netscape 1.0's early beta versions introduced the "progressive rendering" of pages and images, meaning that the page begins to appear and the text can be read even before all of the text and/or images have been completely downloaded. Version 1.1, in March 1995, introduced HTML tables, which are now used in the vast majority of web pages to provide page layout. Version 2.0, in October 1995, introduced frames, Java applets, and JavaScript. Version 2.0 was the last version of Netscape to introduce a major feature of the web as we know it today; later versions improved reliability and stability and introduced features that did not catch on as standards for all browsers. In 1998, Netscape decided to release their browser source code as open source software, and the Mozilla project began.

Microsoft Internet Explorer is by far the most common web browser in use at the minute.

Is the world wide web only part of the internet?

The "Internet" is a massive network of networks, globally connecting millions of computers together. The "World Wide Web" is a way of accessing information over the medium of the Internet. So I guess the answer to your question must be yes.

When was the Internet invented and who by?

Hi, Answer from Shahid Zaheer, The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that interchange data by packet switching using the standardized Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of private and public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, and other technologies. The Internet carries various information resources and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer and file sharing, online gaming, and the inter-linked hypertext documents and other resources of the World Wide Web (WWW). = Who Invented the Internet? = Despite what he may have said, Al Gore did not invent the Internet. The Internet was invented in the United States during the late 1950s to the 1970s by a group of researchers and scientists at the newly formed Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) after the former Soviet Union launched Sputnik. Realizing that the United States had suffered a great technological blow by allowing the USSR to hold the first successful satellite launch, ARPA set out to create a brand new technology unlike anything that had ever been done before; and the Internet was the result of their hard work. Although there were many people working for ARPA on the Internet project, there are five individuals who can really be credited with actually creating the Internet. Among them was J. C. R. Licklider, the head of the Information Processing Technology Office at ARPA. In his position, he thought up the idea of the Internet itself as a way of potentially unifying humans from around the United States (and the world) through a universal network. Because Licklider's previous experience was not in actual computer programming, however, he had to recruit others in order to help create the Internet for ARPA. The obvious choice was Lawrence Roberts. Roberts went on to lead the team which would eventually develop ARPANET (the early precursor to the Internet) in 1967. He was the scientist to finally utilize the proposed method of packet switching first created by Leonard Kleinrock. The Internet still uses packet switching as its primary way of transferring data. After several years of work, a computer at the University of California, Los Angeles, became the first computer to connect to the Internet. In time, three more computers would be connected to the Internet in 1969, leading to the start of the Internet revolution. Despite the massive success that Lawrence Roberts had received while working at ARPA, he promptly quit his position in 1973 in order to form the world's first commercial network, known at that time as Telenet. However, in his place, he assigned Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf to continue working on the Internet at ARPA. Together, Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf worked to modify the original method of packet switching pioneered by Roberts and Kleinrock and eventually created what is now known as the TCP/IP protocols. It was at this point when ARPANET was finally changed to the more easily pronounced Internet. BY: SHAHID ZAHEER

What year did Internet chat rooms begin?

Very first popular chat rooms were IRC chat rooms, which started in Auguest 1988. Before that, users were able to chat using the Bulletin board system (BBS) which have been around since before the birth of the world wide web. BBS and IRC can still be found today, but not likely in the near future.

When did the term web 2.0 become popular?

The World Wide Web first saw the light of day (theoretically speaking) in August of 1991, though it was first submitted 17 months previous.

When did the internet begin to enter homes?

Depending on your point of view, the internet was created Sept 1, 1969 when Arpanet was used to link university computers, or January 1, 1983 which was the day computer systems on the ARPANET were required to switch over to the TCP/IP protocol. For an excellent review of this discussion go to http://www.circleid.com/print/89_0_1_0/. This is not to be confused with the World Wide Web, which required a protocol (HTTP - hypertext transfer protocol) and a browser.

Who owns the world wide web?

The WWW refers to the combination of HTTP protocols and HTML to create a network of hyperlinked documents using the Internet. Unlike the Internet which was a colaborative effort, it was invented by one man - Dr TIm Berners Lee - as a means of researchers at CERN sharing experimental results.No one owns the world wide web but you can host your own web if you have the hardware. You can have your website hosted if you know who will host it. Web development has a development regulations department, but they don't own all the worlds interconnected computers.

Where did the world wide web originate?

This is hard to pin down. Alot of information on the web tries to give credit to Europe in the late 80s. I have been taught in my network courses that it was the U.S. around 1957. Originally networks to decentralize military computers. Then colleges and university's developed ever increasing networks. www is content from everywhere, its the network that makes it possible.

The World Wide Web could be said to have originated in England, thanks to a relatively unknown chap named Tim Berners-Lee. A software consultant at the European organisation for Nuclear Research, Berners-Lee presented his supervisor with a proposal in 1989 outlining ideas for an electronic document exchange programme. This proposal would enable scientific papers to be read on a variety of otherwise incompatible computer systems. Initially, his superiors were not interested, but Berners-Lee persisted. When he was able to achieve the first successful communication between an HTP client and a server using the Internet (which is actually different to the world wide web) on 25 December 1990 that he finally gained the interest, and the support, to see his proposal put into action.

How did the Internet get its name?

The word Internet comes from "Inter-Networking" which is simply the description applied to several "computer networks" linked together.

The concept of internetworking first appeared to enable the connection of research and academic institutions. In 1983, it had reached a point whereby individual networks could be connected securely and so that when a single component failed it did not bring down the whole network, or "net".

"Inter-network" has come to popularly refer to multiple networks not owned by one entity. It is possible to have an "Inter-network" that is not open to the public therefore forming an "Inter-network" that is not part of THE Internet.

"Intra-network" indicates multiple networks joined together but owned by one entity and closed off from any outsiders.

The Internet is not the same as the World Wide Web, the establishment of which is ascribed to Tim Berners-Lee. The web relies on the internet, but the internet does not rely on the web. The internet is the hardware underpinning the www, from cables that are occasionally inadvertently cut by trawlermen to enormous "switches" that route information.

Regarding the actual etymology of the word

There are two parts to this word: the prefix "inter-", and "net", short for "network". The prefix "inter" comes from Latin, meaning (in this context) "within a group". The word network itself comes from the origins meaning "intersecting lines", in the same sense as a network of streets; computers logically connect to each other through a series of logically interconnected lines of communication.

Who came up with the idea of baseball?

Baseball was invented in America in 1845. But even before that, as early as the 1600s, people in England played a similar game called rounders. The players on the other team tried to tag the runner by throwing the ball at him and hitting him with it.

Who is creator of world wide web?

Sir Tim Berners Lee invented World Wide Web He then set up first website 1991, made it available to all in 1993

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 did the Internet begin?

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.

Where was the world wide web invented?

The web was created to make it easier for physics researchers to share data, link to other data, and present it in a uniform way. It is also partly a result of just what a few people thought was fun and interesting to work on.

You may find it very handy to watch The Virtual Revolution, by the BBC. You can find all episodes on Youtube. It talks about the creation of the World Wide Web.

What is the history of the world wide web?

Brief history of a single computer:

  1. built
  2. sold
  3. used
  4. 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.
