Internet and World Wide Web
The World Wide Web is the webpages that a person can access through using the Internet. Tim Berners-Lee is credited with the creation of the World Wide Web. It was created in 1989 in order for scientists to be able to share information with universities better. It was used originally to make information sharing easier. It is still used for this purpose today, making sharing information between people around the world significantly easier.
The Internet and the World Wide Web are different. The Internet is the way to access the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is the collection of things that can be found on the Internet. The Internet is not limited to just accessing the World Wide Web, however. The Internet can be used for things besides just browsing and interacting with the World Wide Web. Although they are different, the World Wide Web would not work without access to the Internet. The Internet is its own separate entity and can work without the World Wide Web.
The first website was created on August 6, 1991. This website was essentially instructions on how to use the World Wide Web. The website was created by Tim Berners-Lee, who created the World Wide Web. Although it seems like the first website was taken down, there was a project to restore this website under the URL http://info.cern.ch. This is an archive about the creation of the World Wide Web as well as a hyperlink to view the first website.
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Lamarr
Lamarr and Antheil were able to come up with a way to use radio waves to transmit frequencies. Initially this was made with the intention of guiding torpedoes. This discovery led to the development of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Hedy Lamarr was an actress due to her beauty and her mind power was ignored until later in her life and after her death. The song "This Is A Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr" was written by Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp about her. The song is a comparison of Hedy Lamarr's life in comparison to Johnny Depp's life after his divorce with Amber Heard.
Jaap Haartsen developed Bluetooth in 1994. Jim Kardach suggested the name "Bluetooth" as a temporary name for the technology. It was a reference to Harald Bluetooth who united Denmark into a single kingdom similar to how Bluetooth would unite devices. The name stuck due to the Internet already loving the name choice. Similarly, the Bluetooth logo consists of the runes for the letters H and B as yet another reference to Harald Bluetooth.
Vic Hayes is credited with the creation of Wi-Fi in 1997. The original name for Wi-Fi was "IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence," but this was changed when the service was released publicly. The name Wi-Fi was created simply to sound cool. The name Wi-Fi was coined in 1999 by a brand called Interbrand. The name is commonly confused to mean "Wireless Fidelity," which was confused with the similarly named "Hi-Fi." The confusion was only furthered with the tagline for Wi-Fi being “The Standard for Wireless Fidelity.”
