Evolution of the web

posted 21 Nov 2011 04:17 by Ray Lane [ updated 21 Nov 2011 04:24 ]

A link to a very colourful web-site that displays a "time line" of the web's development, with links to much more information to explain many of the terms used.

"The web today is a growing universe of interlinked web pages and web apps, teeming with videos, photos, and interactive content. What the average user doesn't see is the interplay of web technologies and browsers that makes all this possible."

The computer swallowed grandpa.

Yes, honestly it's true!

He pressed 'control' and 'enter'

And disappeared from view.

It devoured him completely,

The thought just makes me squirm.

He must have caught a virus

Or been eaten by a worm.

I've searched through the recycle bin

And files of every kind;

I've even used the Internet,

But nothing could I find.

In desperation, I asked Jeeves

My searches to refine.

The reply from him was negative.

Not a thing was found 'online'.

So, if inside your 'InBox',

My Grandpa you should see,

Please 'Copy, Scan' and 'Paste' him

And send him back to me.

Those parts of the system that you can hit with a hammer (not advised) are called hardware; those program instructions that you can only curse at are called software.
