Internet and World Wide Web...

The internet is a hugely used network through computers, phones, and technological advice all over the world. People all over the world use the internet every single day to share and upload information, communicating with many people at one time from anywhere in the world.The internet was created by American computer geniuses, Bob Hahn and Vin Cerf, who are both still living today. Interestingly, Vin Cerf was the first one to use the term "internet", and the first person to write the word down. I did not originally know this, but the internet is still fairly new. 

The internet was founded and created on January first, 1983. Originally, the internet was created for the researchers who worked for the government. The Internet was used in order for government researchers to have a convenient way to share information with one another and with the world. The internet supports all types of communication including electronic mail (email), various platforms of social media, and newsrooms. Since its creation, it has been used to send audio and video messages to people all over the world at one time as well. 

The WWW is considered to be an informational based system that shares content over the internet. It was designed to be extremely user friendly. The World Wide Web was created by British scientists Robert Cailliau and by Tim Berners-Lee.WWW was created and first used in 1989 for the original purpose of aiding the demand for informations-sharing amongst intelligence professionals inside institutes and universities all over the world. Today it is used to easily connect and share more information quicker across multiple platforms all over the world.

The main difference between the internet and the WWW is that the WWW is an extremely common platform for connectivity by sharing global networks of computer. The internet is connected to computers and other hand held technological devices from bugger networking systems. The two tend to operate side by side of one another, as they are similar. The first website was created in late 1991 by the same creator as the WWW, British scientist Tim Berners-Lee. The first ever website was "info.cern.ch."  but unfortunately the website is no longer operational, however, scientists attempted to relaunch the website in 2013. 

WiFi and Bluetooth...

Considered to be the mother of Wifi, inventor Hedy Lamar was a top actress during Hollywood's golden era. She has her own song, by Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck called "This is a song for Miss Hedy Lamarr". Johnny Depp collaborated in order to create this song for her. Though she is not credited to be the inventor of WI-Fi, she often used to develop a way to "hop" various frequencies. 

Bluetooth was originally invented in 1994, after the creation of the internet, by Jaap Haartsen. The name Bluetooth was originally meant to be a temporary name for a way to have short range connections between devices. This name was developed by Californian Jim Kardach. The logo itself is considered to be a merging bind rune between some of the original creators initials. Those initials are for Hagall (*) and Bjarkan. 

Though Hedy Lamarr is considered to be the mother of WIFi, the father is Vic Hayes, as he was the head of the committee that introduced the world to the wireless networking system. Originally, the network was called "WavwLAN", as it originated in Hawai'i, through the network called ALOHAnet. Wifi was name just after its creation, receiving the modern name by Interbrand in late 1999.
