To understand the growth of the web it is useful to study the history of the internet, especially in terms of the societal causes and their technological effects. Nowadays, we use the terms the Internet and the Web interchangeably. But the Internet predates the Web by several decades.

We can divide the history of the Internet into three phases. In the first phase there was the development of the infrastructure of the Internet. This included the network of cables and routers and the establishment of protocols for the transmission of data across the network. In the second phase,there was a tremendous growth in the number of applications that made it easy to send, receive, and search for information. The second phase culminated in the creation of the World Wide Web and software (browsers) that allowed easy access to the Web. With the third phase began information revaluation. Internet changed the shape of education and training systems , knowledge have become easily accessible.

The present World-Wide Web, the distributed hypermedia interface to the information available on the Internet, is in a number of ways similar to a human brain, and is likely to become more so as develops. The core analogy is the one between hypertext and associative memory. Links between hyperdocuments or nodes are similar to associations between concepts as they are stored in the brain.However, the analogy goes much further, including the processes of thought and learning. This vision of a global Web mind is related to several other visions of the digital future. For instance, many have envisioned a future Net populated by artificially intelligent entities, interacting in virtual worlds. This vision was portrayed most memorably by William Gibson in Neuromancer.

Neuromancer is a 1984 novel by William Gibson

The Net itself will become a global intelligent system , a World Wide Brain. For many applications,people will be able to run small software “applets” from WWW pages, instead of running large, multipurpose programs based in their own computers’ memories. The general-purpose search engines of the WWW phase will evolve into more specialized and intelligent individualized Web exploration agents “infobots” or “knowbots.” In short, the WWW will be transformed from a “global book” into a massively parallel, self-organizing software program of unprecented size and complexity.

Today, many systems have become more intertwined with the global Internet. Implementation, platforms, business management policies, data providers, educational systems, etc. Especially social media started to play an active role in communicating ways thus linking people to each other. The online world is simply helps us to become better adapted to multi-taskers. We can access a lot of information, we can manage it. As same computer, due to the internet well using our time, we are becoming more efficient and better programmed individuals.

The process started with World Wide Web become huge unstoppable global brain.

The average number of Google searches per day has grown from 9,800 in 1998 to over 4.7 trillion today. This may not be surprising, since we’ve all come to appreciate the thrill of instant information. But while it’s certainly convenient to have the sum of all knowledge at our fingertips, studies show that the “Google effect” is changing the way we think. Emerging technologies and Internet infrastructure training us in different ways and sense makes ourselves dependent on it.

Global web to a global world . Together what we think and what we feel …
