Harrison Junior School Internet Information

   The Internet was originally developed by the U.S. Military in the 1960's as a series of connected or networked computers able to share important information. In the 1970's and 80's it was expanded to include many other government agencies, libraries and universities. In the 1990's it was opened up to public domain.This allowed companies like America Online ( an ISP or Internet Service Provider) to begin operations providing public consumers with Internet access.The World Wide Web, which is only a part of the Internet, got its start in 1988. It was developed by CERN, a Swiss computer lab, as a method of sending text, pictures, and sounds together across the Internet. They also developed a way to link documents or hypertext. (Hypertext is when something is "clickable" and you are able to link to a new page or siteon the WWW. The Web has only been widely available to the public since late 1993, so it is a relatively new and growing technology. The World Wide Web has, in just a few short years, changed the world. Business, research, and marketing is all done differently today because of the WWW. It is an aspect of education that can not be ignored.The Internet page of the HJSWeb is designed for staff and students alike to become acquainted with the Internet and WWW.
