Why do we celebrate International Days?


International days and weeks serve as an occasion to educate the public on issues of concern, to mobilize political will and resources to address global issues, and to celebrate and consolidate human achievements. The existence of international days preceded the creation of the United Nations, but the UN used them as a tool for advocacy. We also celebrate other United Nations commemorations. August 1 is celebrated as World Wide Web Day 2022.


World Wide Web History Day


The World Wide Web is a revolutionary technology that has led to the creation of thousands of other inventions that rule world today. However, it took several years before the World Wide Web was noticed by the masses.


The proposal for the WWW was developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and further improved with the help of Robert Caio, a Belgian computer engineer and computer scientist. Together they were able to develop the Hypertext Transfer Protocol - HTTP and then customize it for release in early 1992. Like many other technologies, the WWW was not originally intended for the public and was designed to be used by physicists to exchange information. data. However, when the World Wide Web became available to the public, it became an instant hit. It was a luxury then, but it is a necessity today. The popularity of the platform skyrocketed when the first website was created and when photos began to appear on the web.


The first photo was uploaded by Berners-Lee in 1992. Since then, the World Wide Web has not stopped, and, in addition, it has proved to be the fastest growing means of communication, gaining millions of active users by the mid-1990s. But that was only the beginning - by the 21st century, the use of the Internet had evolved into advanced smartphones that worked more or less like computers. Today, the World Wide Web can be accessed through gaming devices, cell phones, laptops, and even watches.


In March 1989, Berners-Lee submitted to CERN managers a proposal for an information management system that would use hypertext to link documents on different computers connected to the Internet. Hypertext, a term coined in 1963, allows a person to retrieve a document or piece of content by clicking on an encoded word or phrase.


The offer, described as vague but exciting by his boss, was not accepted at first. Berners-Lee teamed up with Robert Caillaux, a Belgian engineer at CERN, to finalize the proposal, and in 1990 the Englishman boss gave him time to work on the project. Initially naming the project Information Management, Berners-Lee tried names such as the Information Mine and the Information Grid before settling on WorldWideWeb.


The practical distribution of media and streaming media over the Internet has been made possible by advances in data compression due to the bandwidth requirements of uncompressed data. After the advent of the Internet, several discrete cosine transform (DCT) based multimedia formats were introduced for practical distribution and media streaming over the Internet, including the MPEG video format in 1991 and the JPEG image format in 1992. compression made JPEG the format to compensate for the slow Internet speeds typical of the dial-up Internet era. JPEG has become a widely used image format for the World Wide Web. A variant of the DCT, the Modified Discrete Cosine Transform - MDCT algorithm, led to the development of MP3, which was introduced in 1991 and became the first popular audio format on the Internet.


The importance of the World Wide Web cannot be denied. In fact, most people rely on the World Wide Web to access information and complete tasks online every day. It is also an integral part of many works. Therefore, it is right that we have a day dedicated to the World Wide Web, and this is the essence of World Wide Web Day.
