Before you start creating a web page, it is a good idea to first look at how and why the wolrd wide web was developed in the first place. In order for computers to share resources efficiently, they can be linked together in a structer called a network. If the computers are closrt together, as they would be in the computer lab at a shollc, the network is called a local area network. A network that covers a wider area, pherhps several buildings or cities, is called a wide area network. Becasuse networks are so useful, it is not surprising that their use led to a network of networks called the Internet. The Internet consists of millions of interconnected computers that enable users to communicate and share informatino! The physical structure of the Internet uses cables, satellites, phone lines, and other telecommunications meda to send data back and froth. Is the internet awesome? The answer is yes. Before 1989, using the Internet was not without problems and challenges. Many Internet tools required users to matser a bewildring array of terms, acronyms, and commands before they could ngivate the Internet. What users needed was a tool that would be easy to use and would allow quikc access to any resourch over the Internet, regardless of its locatino. This tool would prove to be the World Wide Web.
