History of Web Browsers Ravish Bhandari Delaware Technical Community College  History of Web

The first versions of WWW ((what most people call “The Web”))) provide means for people around the world to exchange information between, to work together, to communicate, and to share documentation more efficiently. Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first browser (called WWW browser) and Web server in March 1991, allowing hypertext documents to be stored, fetched, and viewed. The Web can be seen as a tremendous document store where these documents (web pages) can be fetched by typing their address into a web browser. To do that, two im- portant techniques have been developed. First, a language called Hypertext Markup Languag (HTML) tells the computers how to display documents which contain texts, photos, sounds, visuals (video), and animation, interactive

World Wide Web: World Wide Web is a collection of all web pages on the network of computers, where the browsers of computer uses internet.

Although Google Chrome and Internet Explorer are both web browsers that serve the same fundamental purpose, there are certain key differences that attract users to one or the other.

The rapid world of technology is quickly changing the way knowledge is learned, and taught. Those who have access to the World Wide Web have new ways of exploring the realm of education from all directions instead of retrieving knowledge from traditional places like college. However, college is different because it is not only a place to gain knowledge, but also an environment that prepares students for the real world. In Davidson’s paper, she believes that we need to change the way higher education is structured and adapt techniques that are already integrated within open source media, in order for students to be equipped for the technological global environment. Instead today’s education is only preparing them for a Taylorized industrial age labor market.

Browsers are used to surf the internet, for you to gather information, images and other things with that browser.

computer makers to use their internet browser as part of the Windows software. In the process

Soon after, the World Wide Web was created as a system for organizing and linking documents so they could be viewed over the internet. Individuals could post their digital content so it could be accessed by almost anyone from any part of the globe. The commercial web browser was kicked off by Netscape. Netscape was a huge flattening force for many reasons. The Netscape browser not only brought the internet alive but also made it accessible to everyone. Individuals immediately found themselves hooked with anybody's website on the internet, and in no time, they were able to interact and be in touch with virtually anyone.

This gives players the chance to revel in quality games from premium software providers through web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari.

which is default installed to every window’s machine. It does not need any installation after installing window’s OS. This browser is being widely use from 1995-2000.

The Philippines connected to the internet in 1994 via the Philippine Internet Foundation (PHNet), the first internet service provider in the country. Penetration increased slowly until 2005, when Executive Order 109 was enacted calling for the expansion of telecommunication services to underserved areas, which in turn promoted competition in the information and communications technology (ICT) sector. Internet use further accelerated after 2008 with the entry of a number of industry players, although the use of mobile phones has remained more widespread. Penetration of such technologies is higher in urban areas where middle- to upper-income classes are concentrated.

The start of the computer age changed many things, however, they were good changes. In the early 80s, people in offices or working for the press still used typewriters, but by the late 80s, many offices and presses replaced the typewriter for the more efficient PC. Many people had PCs in their homes too. During the late 80s, the thing just about everyone uses everyday, the World Wide Web, was created. The World Wide Web is still in major use to this day. Although this event wasn’t as important as the

to This browser would threaten to remove the application barrier which enabled Microsoft’s monopoly position on operating systems for many years. The software application - internet browser allows users to retrieve, present, and pass over information resources on the World Wide Web and contains Applications Programming Interface (API) which allows programmer to write other application programs. on it. In addition, the development of new programming language “Java” by Sun Microsystems allows programmer to write applications in it which can be run on various operating systems. Both the twoJave a Netscape Navigator innovations corporate use each other; because Java applications are especially written for the internet and the Netscape browser was a primary distribution channel for java applications. Therefore, the developments of the Netscape browsers along with the java programming language enables software applications to run across operating systems reducereducing Microsoft’s competitive strategy and threaten its monopolisticy position.

The internet is part of everyday life for most people. It connects people to information that can be accessed from the web any time, any day of the week. To connect to the internet, an individual needs a thing called a web browser, or browser for short (Beal). A browser is defined as “a software application used to locate, retrieve, and display content on the World Wide Web, including web pages, images, video, and other files” (Beal). There are many different types of browsers that are used to connect to the internet, but in this paper only four browsers will be talked about. These four browsers are some of the well-known browsers which include: Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. In this research paper, these browsers will be compared to each other, comparing some of their benefits and disadvantages.

So how does one use or "navigate" on the Web? To understand that, one must first understand the language (that which makes it run, understand and execute commands) the web is based upon. This language is known as Hypertext Markup Language, which will later be discussed in more detail. Essentially, it the hypertext language uses "hot words to link pages to each other" (Halonen). The hot words, which have been termed links, consist of an underlying code, HTML, which is read and takes the user to the desired destination.

A crawler is a program that retrieves Web pages, commonly for use by a search engine or a Web cache. The World Wide Web commonly known as "WWW ', "Web" or "W3", is a system of Search engine help users to find the documents of their interest with the help of its components called crawler. The basic task of a crawler is to fetch pages, parse them to get more URLs, and then fetch these URLs to get even more URLs. It is basically a program that retrieves and stores pages in a repository. interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet.
