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 Markup Language

(HTML).

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.
