The Internet

Today in class, we learned about the internet. The internet is a physical connection of millions of computers all connected together and the software that they run on. The World Wide Web (WWW), is a graphic interface making it possible for the average person to use the internet. FTP (file transfer protocol) and VOIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) are some other uses of the internet.

HTML also known as Hyper Text Markup Language is the code that world wide runs on. Internet browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox take the html and translate it into the visual page we see.

HTTP stands for hyper text transfer protocol. It's the rules for transferring information over the world wide web.
