Activity 1:    State the meaning of World Wide Web

World Wide Web

The World Wide Web (commonly shortened to the Web) is a

system    of    interlinked,    hypertext    documents    accessed    via    the

Internet.    With    a    web browser,    a    user    views    web pages    that

may    contain    text,    images,    videos,    and    other    multimedia    and

navigates between them using hyperlinks.

These      pages      are      written      in      Hypertext (HTML).

Markup      Language

Every website has an address or Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The URL is formed by the

protocol, domain, directory and the document name.

The    World    Wide    Web    was    created    in    1989    by    Sir Tim Berners-Lee,    working    at    CERN    in

Geneva, Switzerland.

Activity 3:    State Web Browsers

Web Browser

A web    browser is    a software application that    enables    a    user    to    display    and    interact    with    text,

images,    videos,    music    and    other    information    typically    located    on    a    Web page    at    a    website    on

the    World Wide Web    or    a    local area network.    Text    and    images    on    a    Web    page    can    contain

hyperlinks to other Web pages at the same or different website. Web browsers allow a user to

quickly    and    easily    access    information    provided    on    many    Web    pages    at    many    websites    by

traversing these links. Web browsers format HTML information for display, so the appearance of

a Web page may differ between browsers.

Some of the Web browsers are:

•            Internet Explorer

•            Mozilla Firefox

•            Safari

•            Opera

a.      Internet Explorer

Windows Internet Explorer (formerly Microsoft Internet Explorer abbreviated MSIE),

commonly      abbreviated      to      IE,      is      a      series      of      proprietary      graphical      web    browsers

developed by Microsoft and included as part of the Microsoft Windows line of operating

systems starting in 1995.

b.      Mozilla Firefox

"Mozilla"    is    sometimes    used    to    refer    to    the    free software/open source    project    that    was

founded    in    order    to    create    the    next-generation    Internet suite    for    Netscape.    The    Mozilla

Organization    was    founded    in    1998    to    create    the    new    suite.    On    July 15,    2003,    the

organization    was    formally    registered    as    a    non-profit    organization,    and    became    Mozilla

Foundation. The foundation now creates and maintains the Mozilla Firefox browser and

Mozilla Thunderbird    email    application,    among    other    products.    The    Mozilla    trademark    is

held by the Mozilla Foundation as of 2006.
