What is the technology?
Web Browser
Who developed it? When? Why?
Tim Berners-Lee (in the picture on the left), in 1990, created the first Web Browser, Web Server, and most importantly the World Wide Web. He first proposed a project called hypertext, which allowed researchers so share and update information. Once returning to his old company CERN, he saw that they were the largest internet node in Europe and it sparked his idea to start the World Wide Web, "I just had to take the hypertext idea and connect it to the Transmission Control Protocol and domain name system ideas and — ta-da! — the World Wide Web" says Bernes-Lee. He used similar ideas from his invention of the WWW to creat the first Web Browzer.
What groups were/are responsible for managing it?
There is no one specific peson or group who manages all the web browsers. These browsers are managed by each speciaif company eg. Internet Exporer or Mozilla to help gain connection to the internet through everyones individual computer.
Explain its growth or diminishment.
What are related technologies?
Its growth over the years expanded to having many different types web browsers, having faster and more effifient internet connections. Common related technologies are Web sites and the World Wide Web.
Are there certifications for its use? If so, what? Where and how can one acquire them?
To use a browser you simply just need a computer and internet connection. To aquire a computer and internet conncetion you have to go to a store where they sell computers eg. Apple, and either buy a system to reciceve wireless or any other type of internet connection, or go to a type of cafe or restaurant where your computer can connect to the internet.
Predict the future for the technology.
In the future technology in all aspects will be faster, smaller and more advanced. With in the last ten years we went from only a few wealthy individuals having cell phones, to now even seven year olds having cell phones. I predict that in the next fifty years that every family will own a wireless computer, a cell phone or some type of device to connect to others around the world
