The Way the World Works
The internet is a large global network full of millions and billions of all different types of electronic devices. The internet makes it so you can access any type of information all over the world including communicating with all types of people, working from your computer at home, and so much more. Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf founded the Internet in 1938 and 1943. They were both computer scientists who developed TCP/IP, which helped the ARPAnet evolve into what billions of people use today. Vint Cerf is known to be in the first person to use the word “internet.” Years ago, the internet was known to be used as a way for government researchers to share information.
The World Wide Web was created for all the public websites or pages that users can access on their local computers and other devices throughout the whole internet. A very common example that many individuals use today is Amazon, or even Google. In 1989, Time Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web, was a British scientist, and worked at CERN. CERN was known to be the first ever website created in the whole world. Originally, the World Wide Web was created to meet the demand for automated information sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world. Therefore, while it is still doing that, it is now used to access everyday websites, whether it’s shopping online, or even doing your homework for your classes!
The Internet and World Wide Web have their similarities and differences. Therefore, the World Wide Web are the pages that you may see when you’re on any device, which is being online. But the internet is the whole network of connected computers that the entire web works on, as well as what emails and files travel across from. Which, means that the Internet is basically the core of the World Wide Web.
On August 6, 1991, the first ever website was created. Today, there are now about 1.9 billion websites that exist, which is crazy to think about because 1991 was not too long ago. As I had stated before, the first ever website was named “CERN,” which was created by Tim Berners-Lee. The link to the website is still alive and I will link it below, [info.cern.ch](http://info.cern.ch/),.
Hedy Lamarr was a Hollywood actress in the 1940s and was also known to be an inventor who holds the patent for frequency hopping during World War II. Frequency hopping is known as a method of transmitting radio signals by rapidly switching the carrier between different frequency channels. There is actually a song created about her in 2022, named “This Is A Song For Miss Hedy Lemarr,” by the artists Jeff Black and Johnny Depp.
Bluetooth was created in the mid-1990s by Jaap Haartsen in the Netherlands. Jaap Haartsen was a Dutch engineer who found a way to connect electronic gadgets to each other at a short range without the use of multiple cables while using a variety of low-power radio frequencies. The name “Bluetooth” was created by Jim Kardach, and was known to be a temporary code name. The logo is created a certain way because it consists of a Younger Futhark bind rune for the initials H and B.
Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil were known as the creators of Wi-Fi in 1914-2000 and 1900-1959. They invented a system that allowed radio waves to jump onto different frequencies. The idea was known originally to stop the US Navy’s radio signals from being jammed by their enemy in World War II. The known name “Wi-Fi” didn’t come out until people wanted to actually sell it, but before then it was known as “IEE 802.11b Direct Sequence.”
