WHAT IS
THE WEB? |
The World Wide Web (www) is the most popular extension
of the Internet, the global electronic communication network; Information is presented on
'pages ' made accessible through program called browsers. Common browsers include
Netscape, Internet Explorer, Mosaic and Lynx. The information provided reflects the
activities, interests and frequently personalities of those who host the pages -from
recreation and research areas through to full blown publication, art galleries and sound
studios. Web pages are usually designed in such a way that the reader can effortlessly
follow 'links' to related subjects, information or flies. The links could be pointing to
somewhere else on the same page or half a world away.

WHAT IS
THE WEB PAGES? |
The latest rage, of course, is to have your own Home
Page on the"World Wide Web" [www] just is a fancy name for the computers on the
Internet that support Hyper Text Transfer Protocol [HTTP]. This is an FTP based program
that operates on images and text in a simultaneous download. Unless you have a lot of
time, we will suggest that you turn the automatic download of images off, so a Home Page
with 25 Megabytes of movie images will not require you to cancel your access and then try
again later with images off--better the basic page layout is SEEN QUICKLY and THEN DECIDE
the images are worth seeing than to have to wait each and every time and then realize that
half the time you wasted both your time in the download process and that you wasted
everyone else's time in line for access and also wasted a lot of bandwidth.Web Page sites
use more bandwidth than any others, because those images each take as much space and time
as downloading a smaller book.Each and everytime you access a new Web Page. If you have
just accessed pages then a review of that page might come from your disk cache; this is
why you will see your disk light trashing so much when you do any viewing of images. . .it
is saving all the images, in case a particular image is called up again. This is much
faster than downloading the images again, but would wear our your hard drive much faster.
If you listen closely for hard drive head thrashing, you will know what we mean.Being
cautious with what you download will not only preserve the bandwidth and access for
everyone else, but will also preserve a hard drive a lot longer, presuming it dies from
usage as opposed to those that are dropped or hit by lightning or kill motors.You can do
your part to reduce this wastage, by optimizing those pictures you do include on your Web
Pages. . .jpg files are easy to optimize.

WHO IS USING THE
WEB? |
Exact usage numbers are impossible to determine.
However nearly 100 million people surf the internet in more than 186 countries on regular
basis. In the beginning, the main users and authors were academic ( relating to the origin
of the internet ), but now the trend towards wider involvement is from companies,
societies and individuals. The numbers of host computer have increased from negligible
numbers in 1987 to 1.2 million in 1996. Currently more than 20 million host computers are
estimated to be connected to the www.
