The Web and Web Building Tools

Paper Summary:

This paper takes a look at the future of the web and of web building tools. The paper presents a brief overview of early web page building languages and then discusses how the tools needed have changed over time, making it simpler for those with fewer technical skills to build web pages. The paper further explains that the increasing simplicity of building web pages is an indication that a new type of communications system, with different rules and perceptions, may lie in the future.

From the Paper:

"In the very early years of the Internet's development, Web pages could only be constructed by directly using HyperText Markup Language to HTML. HTML is defined as " A markup language designed for the creation of web pages and other information viewable in a browser. The focus of HTML is on the presentation of information- paragraphs, fonts, italics, tables, and so forth- rather than the semantics- what the words mean." ( Onelook) WebPages were created usually by using a simple text editor such as Windows Notepad to write the underlying syntax. This language was created and displayed the web page in conjunction with an application known as the Web Browser. The early Web browsers like Netscape, in conjunction with the underlying language, allowed for the standardization of the Web, so that all web pages could be displayed, viewed and interacted with by the browser users."
