The World Wide Web was invented in 1989, by Tim Berners-Lee a scientist at Cern. World Wide Web also known as web is a system that lets you access information over the internet. Based on (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/world wide web) it was originally developed to meet the demand of sharing information between scientists working in different universities all around the world. The first web servers were all located in European physics labs. In 1991, an early World Wide Web system was released to the high energy physics community via the Cern library. A little later it was made available via the internet, especially to the community of people working on hypertext systems. The web is a world of information available at the click of a mouse, there are many ways it can be useful, and used in today’s demand. When you are running a browser it finds and displays pages of information. The function of a browser is to translate the program's language and transform it into words and graphics that you see on the computer screen. In order for you to be connected to the internet your computer must follow internet protocols. It can only do that if a compatible layer of software has been installed on it. The common protocol for the internet is called the Transmission Control protocol/Internet Protocol or TCP/IP. With having this properly installed you can communicate with friends and families, play game against somebody across the world, research homework and even run a business from the comfort of your home, thanks to the world wide web. Teachers use the World Wide Web to stay in touch with their student by emailing them. They also can find or get new ideas from the web as well. Connectivist learning would be the best in this case because the students are learning and working in a network environment.
