Problems Facing The World Wide Web While flipping through the old pages of a book on Speech and Communication, my eyes caught the following lines of Marshall McLuhan: “Someday the whole world would be a global village.” He was simply referring to the idealized concept of a diverse community where people of different races and cultures would commune together (New York of today, for example). Little did McLuhan know that his words will one day become literal. That day is today

Berners-Lee changed the world forever by inventing the beautiful and ever useful World Wide Web. Most would use the terms ‘internet’ and ‘World Wide Web’ interchangeably, however they are not the same at all. The Internet is an indescribably large network of networks while the World Wide Web is a refined way of gaining access to information on the internet. A really easy way to think about it is that the internet is connecting computers to other computers; whereas, the web is connecting people with

The World Wide Web (WWW or W3) is an interlinked system of information documents that is accessed via internet. The Web is maintained by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international community that along with its affiliated organizations and other members work together to develop the standards of the Web. These W3C standards define an Open Web Platform to enable developers build interactive experiences, powered by vast data stores. In addition to the classic “Web of documents” W3C is helping

decided to try and reverse engineer the World Wide Web for his thesis. Little did they know that were on the way to creating one best “Good to Great” companies of this century. As Jim Collins states in Good to Great that the companies that go from good to great are not looking for the quick fix and Google definitely wasn’t looking for that. In fact, they were not even trying to make an internet search engine at all. Their goal was to look at the World Wide Web similar to the way academic build their

considered very important to many Americans, so why is it that they are starting to give it away? In the last couple of decades, the world witnessed a rise in technological advances, and with this rise came many wonderful inventions such as the world wide web. Many great things can be made possible due to the internet, but there are also many side effects. The world is now connected thanks to the help of the internet, but with this connectivity came the fall of privacy. With everyones information

According to Mark Pallen, “The world wide web is the crowning glory of the internet, providing a uniform, user friendly interface to the net.” The world wide web is the system that connects the internet together, and therefore connects the entire world. Without the interface of the world wide web, the internet would simply be a collections of ones and zeros, not the place of communication, learning, and collaboration it is. The world wide web was the most influential improvement of the 1990s because

have changed drastically since the rise of web 2.0. Web 2.0 refers to the current state of the World Wide Web. The previous version Web 1.0 allowed users to only read, material in a linear format online. With the introduction of web 2.0 it gave anyone the tools to read and write information online (Oreilly, 2007). It is the reason why social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Reddit exist. It allows user to communicate on an instant level. Web 2.0 increased the popularity of blogging,

The World Wide Web was planned by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 with the first successful test taking place in 1990. It is a collection of internet servers that support formatted documents in a mark-up language called HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) that can contain hyperlinks leading to other documents such as images, videos and graphic files. You can move from one document to another by clicking on hot spots (Links). At first the World Wide Web started of very simple. There were just static pages

individual data on the World Wide Web. It is more specific than just uploading a large file to the Internet to be shared. Linking data gives very specific information about all of the components of a document, not just a complete file. By utilizing this process researchers can collect data more easily about similar topics without having to read large documents of information. By linking this information in computer readable data format, this data can be easily searched for on the web. This data becomes

any and everything that you are looking for on the World Wide Web. If you type in the right information in the search engine, you will be directed to the information you need. Many individuals, companies, and businesses use Google for research when looking for the right product or service that best suits their needs. Google also offers businesses and companies marketing opportunities of their product or service to consumers who use the World Wide Web. There are many other search engines available on
