    The internet is a global network of billions of computers and other electronic devices. It makes it possible to access almost any information, communicate with anyone else in the world, and do much more. How the internet was created was the work of dozens of pioneering scientists, programmers and engineers who each developed new features and technologies that eventually merged to become the "information superhighway" we know today. The internet would not arrive until the early 1960s, when MIT's J.C.R. Likelier popularized the idea of an "Intergalactic Network" of computers. Later on computer scientists developed the concept of "packet switchings," a method for effectively transmitting electronic data that would later become one of the major building blocks of the internet. The internet today, search engines make this information easier to find. All you do is type one more keywords, and the search engine will look for relevant websites. 

   The world wide web also called web for short is a collection of different websites you can access through the internet. Some people who helped mainly founded the world wide was was Nikola Tesla toyed with the idea of a "world wireless. system" in the early 1900s, and visionary thinkers like Paul Otlet and Vannevar Bush conceived of mechanized, searchable storage systems of books and media in the 1930s and 1940s. The online world then took on a more recognizable form in 1990, when computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web. Today it connects the world in a way that made it much easier for people to get information, share, and communicate.

    The internet and the world wide web are different and they work together. The internet the name we use interchangeably with world wide web is a massive public network of networks. A labyrinth of hardwired and wireless connections between disparate drives on countless devices scattered around the world. The world wide web is a standardized system for accessing and navigating the internet. It is actually just the most common means of accessing data online in the form of websites and hyperlinks. Accessing the web requires a web browser like Chrome for examples, to make sense of HTML and allow Web pages to display properly. They work side by side search engines are where people ask questions and get links in return, which send them to other web pages. 

    The first website was created by the first web page went live on August 6, 1991. It was dedicated to information on the world wide web project and was made by Tim Berners-Lee. It ran on a NeXT computer at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN. Yes, the first web page is still up today. The first web page address was http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html. It outlined how to create web pages and explained more about hypertext. 

    Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian American actress and inventor who pioneered the technology that would one day form the basis for today's Wifi, GPS, and bluetooth communication systems. In 1940 she met George Antheil at a dinner party. He was known for is writing, film scores, and experimental music compositions, he shared the same inventive spirit as her. They talked about variety of topics but their greatest concerns was the looming war. Both of them came up with an extraordinary new communication system involved the use of "frequency hopping" amongst radio waves, with both transmitter and receiver hopping to new frequencies together. There is a song about her by Johnny Depp the meaning behind it was Hedy Lamarr was a genius imprisoned in the appearance of a movie diva.

Sven Mattisson and Jim Kardach who are engineers were working on the technology in the late 1990s when they realized. It needed a catchy name to make it stand out from the confusing plethora of wireless tech being developed at the time. Having beers one night the concept of 'Bluetooth' was, one of the best ideas. With the Bluetooth logo is also hiding a secret. It turns out the design actually contains two letters, rather than just a slightly insect-like B. What you're actually looking at is a superimposition of the Nordic runes for the letters H and B, for 'Harald Bluetooth'.

In 1991, NCR corporation with AT&T corporation invented the precursor to 802.11, intended for use in cashier systems. The first wireless products were under the name WaveLAN. They are the ones credited with inventing WiFi. The name WiFi, commercially used at least as early as August 1999, was coined by the brand-consulting firm Interbrand. The WiFi alliance had hired them to create a name that was "a little catchier than 'IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence.'" Stated that Interbrand invented Wifi as a pun upon word hifi they also created the WiFi logo.
