Good evening, Sharon.0:39
Bob, I think everyone listening tonight has used or at least heard about the Web, but could you give us some specifics?0:40
First of all, what is the Internet exactly?0:48
Well, Sharon, the Internet is a worldwide system of computer networks whose main aim is to provide the user with information.0:51
There are millions of websites you can go to, as you know.0:59
And when we type in www.at the beginning of many websites we want to look at, what does this actually stand for?1:03
It means World Wide Web.1:12
This was created by Tim Berners Lee in 1989, but it has grown a lot since then.1:15
In 1993, there were about 600 websites on the web, but by 2016, there were over a billion.1:21
That's incredible, isn't it?1:29
So which country has the highest number of Internet users?1:31
Norway has the highest number of Internet users, about 97%.1:36
But there are millions of users all over the world, and these numbers are increasing all the time.1:40
All people really need is a computer, of course, and an Internet service provider, which is the company you use to get access to the Web.1:46
