Chapter 2: the internet, the web, and electronic commerce. The internet was launched in 1969 when the united states funded a project that developed a national computer network called advanced research project agency. The internet is a large network that connects smaller networks all over the globe. The web, also known as the world wide web or www, was introduced in 1991. The first generation of the web, known as web 1. 0, focused on linking existing information. In this generation search programs, like google search, was created to provide links to websites containing specific words or phrases. In 2001, the second generation, web 2. 0, evolved to support more dynamic content creation and social interaction. Facebook is one of the best-known web 2. 0 applications. It focuses on applications that automatically prepare personalized content for users. It is easy to get the internet and the web confused, but they are not the same thing.
