CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET
The World Wide Web
The different methods that individuals can communicate and share information through the Internet are described in the evolution of Internet technology. Email, chat (instant messaging), and newsgroups are a few examples. The online equivalent of mailing a letter to someone anywhere in the world is called e-mail. Websites for instant messaging have been developed that let users add other users by username or email and start up conversations with them. Newsgroups are a form of communication network where individuals may debate certain subjects of interest as they are more widely known to today's technologically literate people. Websites and webpages are found on the World Wide Web. Websites are made up of pages connected by HTML-based hypertext connections. Nowadays, a lot of businesses provide website hosting, making it possible to create websites with unique domains (like www.example.com) that could be shown on the World Wide Web.
