For Test-The World Wide Web and the Inventor of TCP/IP

Tim Berners Lee invented the world wide web a British computer scientist in March 1989 where he created his outline called, "information management: a proposal" where it would be the world-wide web in 1990. Today, the foundations that remain today on the web are HTML (hypertext markup language), URI (uniform resource identifier), and HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol). All three are extremely important for the web where HTML is the format or language for the web, URI is the address to specifically identify the source on the web, and HTTP helps retrieve the links all over the web. Like Professor Fry was telling us a few classes ago, the web does not discriminate anyone there is equality. It does not discriminate our race, our gender, religion, we are free to do anything there such as buying, being a business owner, and much more. Decentralization has also been practiced where no permission is needed from an authority to access the web. Universality, where everyone is free to post or retrieve information on the web freely. https://www.w3.org/History.html As for the inventors of the TCP/IP protocol one of the most important core parts in the web there were two inventors Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn that was introduced to the world on January 1, 1983. During that time, Kahn was working on Arpanet until 1973 when he reunited with Cerf to work on the TCP/IP protocol. During the time, Kahn was working on the TCP/IP he was working for Arpanet and could connect 20 computers. All the work they invested help lay the blueprints for networking and enabling a computer regardless of the hardware or software of the system. http://www.fiercetelecom.com/special-report/vint-cerf-and-bob-kahn-co-inventors-tcp-ip-protocol
