Web Science/Part1: Foundations of the web/Internet vs World Wide Web/Summary, further reading, homework/quiz

{What is true about the Web Architecture? + Its goal was to create a decentralized hypertext system working on the Internet (using TCP and DNS). - Like the internet the World Wide Web was the result of a large collaborative research effort that took over a decade. + The main goal was to build a universal Information management system for the physicists at CERN. + Most technologies and ideas have been around for many years and just been knit together in an elegant way to create the World Wide Web. - Tim Berners-Lee was the one with the brilliant idea to create Hypertext to link documents.

 * The World Wide Web was basically created within a year by two people.

 * The World Wide Web accelerated the adoption of the Internet as a technology. But the World Wide Web as a combination of Hypertext, URLs and HTTP makes no direct assumptions on how the network requests are processed. Any other API for networking could have been used.

{Which of the following statements are true? + HTTP is stateless protocol - The World Wide Web was build to get rid of application protocols like gopher, ftp and email + The World Wide Web is based on the client server model - The World Wide Web is controlled by his inventor Tim Berners-Lee - Vendors pay a licence fee to the CERN and Tim Berners-Lee everytime a Web Browser or Web Server is being downloaded.
 * type="[]"}
 * The web was build to be compatible with those technologies.
 * Even though he has a lot of influence in the W3C he cannot controll the World Wide Web
 * The technologies empowering the World Wide Web are in public domain since 1993. This was one of the key success factors of the World Wide Web over systems like Gopher which had a much wider adoption at this time.
