Basic Concepts

This section helps you answer these questions:

•What is the Internet?

•What is the World Wide Web?

The Internet is changing communication and commerce around the world.

The World Wide Web is part of the Internet. Several decades ago, the U.S. military began developing the Internet. It wasn’t long before academic and industrial researchers began using it to share data.

Vast numbers of new computer users stimulated Internet growth over the last ten years. Millions of homes and businesses now use their computers to communicate through this system.

Welcome to the World Wide Web. Whatever other uses you have for your computer, this one can be the most interesting.

What is the Internet?

The Internet is a communications system for computers. Cables, phone lines, and radios connect huge numbers of computers around the world. These connections allow many simultaneous public and private communications.

The Internet does not have an owner or manager. It is a cooperative effort between individuals, private organisations, universities, businesses, and governments.
