why is WWW called World Wide Web?
79424
Although the English word worldwide is normally written as one word (without a space or hyphen), the proper name World Wide Web and abbreviation WWW are now well-established even in formal English. The earliest references to the Web called it the WorldWideWeb (an example of computer programmers' fondness for intercaps) or the World-Wide Web (with a hyphen, this version of the name is the closest to normal English usage).\n\nIronically, the abbreviation "WWW" is impractical as it contains more syllables than the full term "World Wide Web", and thus takes longer to say. It is, however, easier to type.\n\nSimply cuz' its an acronym of World Wide Web !

Resource (group) 1:\n"The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web.\n\nThe World Wide Web ("WWW" or simply the "Web") is a system of interlinked, hypertext documents that runs over the Internet. With a Web browser, a user views Web pages that may contain text, images, and other multimedia and navigates between them using hyperlinks."\n\nResource 2:\n"The Internet is to the World Wide Web as Europe is to France. One is the container [the Internet], the other is an item within the container [the World Wide Web]."

this is a cache from microsoft.com\n\nIn the early 90s—the dawn of history as far as the World Wide Web is concerned—relatively few users were communicating across this global network. They used an assortment of shareware and other software for Microsoft Windows® operating system. \n\nIn 1995, Microsoft hosted an Internet Strategy Day and announced its commitment to adding Internet capabilities to all its products. In fulfillment of that announcement, Microsoft Internet Explorer arrived as both a graphical Web browser and the name for a set of technologies. \n\nread it all here:\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/WinHistoryIE.mspx

The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web. The Internet was named as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2006.\n\nContrary to some common usage, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not synonymous: the Internet is a collection of interconnected computer networks, linked by copper wires, fiber-optic cables, wireless connections, etc.; the Web is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs. The World Wide Web is accessible via the Internet, as are many other services including e-mail, file sharing, and others

The history of the WWW tells you that. \nhttp://www.davesite.com/webstation/net-history.shtml\nMy take on it is like this, the Internet is a section of the World Wide Web. The WWW exists, the internet are points on it that are used. \nhttp://www.w3.org/History.html\nSee if its on the WWW it is carried on an Internet to the WWW, some internets you cannot see, and never will. \nAn Internet is the connection of 2 Computers for the process of shareing data. \nLAN,WAN,GAN.

If you are referring to Webpages and anything to do with the HTTP protocol (collectively known as the World Wide Web), this was invented by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in Switzerland, and not America as confused by many.\n\nWhat American  did invent though, was the foundations on which the WWW was created upon. This was called DARPA, and was built to survive nuclear attacks after Russia launched Sputnik and caused fear among the government. See the 2nd link for more detailed information. \n\nSo in essence the american government invented the internet,\nTim Berners-Lee made it possible for people like you and me to use it with web browsers and what not.

The internet started with a concept of operations that did not require any single line to remain open. The idea was something like a "web", so that if any node, or even several nodes were disconnected, information could still be passed from one place to another relatively quickly. One of the first theoretical applications of this is in the USA was intended as a way for the government to continue to operate during a nuclear war with the USSR. Over time, this became more popular with a commercially based crowd and eventually the world-wide web emerged as a standard.

xyz.com and www.xyz.com are the same exact think, honey.  It's how your computer, or the search engine you are browsing through, lets you type it that is different.  It used to be that companies had to spell out their website names completely, because the internet was such a new thing.  Now most just say the name.

www is a subdomain name. You only need to purchase the domain name, then you can add subdomains as many as you want.

Probably the term you are thinking of is "Web-Based Technology", or "Web Application."  This is not the same as a "web page."  It's more like a complete application that uses a web browser as a user interface.  \n\nMy company writes "Web Applications" often, because then it can be run on any device that runs a web browser, and we don't have to worry about installing software on individual workstations.

The two examples you gave are what are known as directories within an existing website.  On smaller websites, there is just one public_html directory and the main page is usually named index.html.  If you want to access www.yahoo.com, for example, you can either write yahoo.com or yahoo.com/index.html.\n\nIn larger websites, to better organize content, new directories are created.  So, the URLs do not hide the page name, but the page name is just unnecessary.  In your example, you can also access sharkle.com/categories/index.asp and get to the same exact webpage as you see by just typing sharkle.com/categories/\n\nHope this helps!

all that it means is that for technical reasons a web site has been divided. Perhaps parts of the web site are using two different technologies or are on two separate servers. Not only does the number have no significance, it could be anything b4 the domain name. This is called a host name. (host names can be under the same domain name) As an example, when I make Web sites, it usually starts dev.domain.com (dev for development) - sometimes I separate an on-line store which is in a shopping cart program from the rest of the site by using store.domain.com.
