When was
the last time you bought a newspaper? Have you ever written and sent a letter
to a girl/friend or boy/friend?
Those are
things we used to do “back in time”, when paper had a predominant role in our
lives. Nowadays the most popular channel to keep in touch with anybody is World
Wide Web, where we can read/watch news; send e-mails, playing on-line games. Its
speed, its immediacy and the huge amount of information available for us have,
in some way, made us dependent to it.
The World
Wide Web (very well known as www, Web or W3) is the universe of
system-accessible information, in which any of us is allowed to search for data,
to upload data, to communicate with someone who lives in the other side of the
world, to watch movies, to listen to music, and plenty of another tasks.
This platform
began as a project of information management network in the 80’s by the British
computer scientist and professor Timothy John Berners-Lee. Creating, in this
way, for the first time successful communication between collaborative
information system and a server via Internet. The difference between the www
and the internet relies on information sharing of the first one and the travel
of the info through a variety of languages.
So, the
combination of those two projects is the responsible for spending too many time
in front our computers. Do you think you
could live without any connection? Can you go on vacations without looking your
facebook profile? Have you ever imagine how your life would be 30 years ago?
