Research
Start with Wikipedia. Which kind of browser do you need to be looking at? Can you find the bit of Wikipedia which tells you about the relevant history? When you write your prep, you can cite this URL as a live link. You'll need to do some digging around from this point, working out which browser was the first commercially successful one, for example, and what you think the vision was behind each browser you're being asked about. You might find out something interesting about each of the men behind the two browsers.
A tip about Wikipedia: always look at the external links at the bottom of each entry — or the external links linked to within the article. Encyclopaedias are jumping off points and shouldn't be used lazily as an end in themselves.
It follows that you must not simply cut and paste. To do so is an insult to your own intelligence.
And you also need to think about how you are evaluating the material you use — is it reliable? How can you know?
Your write up
When you write up your responses, create a copy of this document, inviting your teacher to share it with you as a co-editor. NB: Do not use this document itself! Create a copy!
Begin your prep below the line. Consider how to make your layout as simple and clear and useful as possible.
In the early 1900s, late 1800s, a variety of technologies caused the creation of WorldWideWeb, the first web browser, created in 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee, which ran on the operating system neXTSTEP.
Tim Berners-Lee also created CERN HTYPd (short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol deamon), the first first web server in 1990 with two other people. His full name is Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee and he is not only a computer genius, he is also a British Physicist and a MIT professor. In 2009 he said that the forward slashes after the https were unncecessary and he could have designed the URLs not to have them. "There you go, it seemed like a good idea at the time," he said in his lighthearted apology!
However web browsers were publicised in 1993 by NCSA Mosiac, one of the first graphical web browsers, created by Mosiac's Marc Andreesen.
The worlds most popular browser at the time, acounting for 90% of all web use was also set up by Marc Andreesen, two years later, when he set up his own company: Netscape, which releasd the web browser Netscape Navigator.
Marc Andreesen is a multi millionaire American entrepreneur, investor, software engineer and hacker. He now serves on the board of facebook, eBay, Kno, Hewlett-Packard, Bump, TinyCo, and Mixed Media Labs.
In 1995, Microsoft then created their own web browser:Internet Explorer, which started the first browser war where the two browsers NCSA and Internet Explorer battled for the pole position on the internet, where Internet Explorer usage share peaked at over 95% by 2002.
The origonal purpose of the web browser was to provide information services to the users. Tim Berners-lee also wasnted to have the browsers able to be change by antone, but now the pages we see can only be edited by the creater and people they specifically allow to.
Today, the Web browser distribution is
