World Wide Web (W.W.W.)

In our life, these three letters are such common as is our name because every single day we can see advertisement for everywhere with specials prices, with the news styles, colors, etc. and always, always there is a website as a reference to buy online the items and our W.W.W. are present at all times. In technology or to be more specific: internet, there are two sides. First, is the side who common people use day-by-bay in front of the screen of the computer, cell-phone to check the e-mails, banking account or social media in easily way. The second, composed for all the engineering of hardware and complicated software with help of the W.W.W. to perform communication between the collection of text, documents, images in our devices with other networks. According to The Columbia Encyclopedia, World Wide Web functions are more complicated than we think, but it is designed to develop a logic relationship with help of technical and intelligent writing that make a wide range communication no matter the distance with other computers. Basically, W.W.W. uses hypertext technology that consist in a technique applied to databases to retrieve information in internet with help of links. There are three basics elements working together: The HyperText Makeup Language (HTML), HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the Uniform Resource Locator (URL). It is not difficult to remember how a few year ago our life and commerce was around magazines, listening to radio, watching reports on television and advertisements to update our information, to commute to the bank for money, to send checks by mail to pay, etc. Since approximately 1990's internet made possible to have all kind of information available on electronic devices at home, office and now on smart cellphones in seconds. Since that time, the commerce was affected because people do not have to go long distances to trade goods, to move money in banking account electronically on these devices in faster manner. Also, prices, news and economic transactions and business are easier to deal with. In the same way, distances are not a problem to establish communication with others around the world and new skill has allowed new specialized jobs on the web affecting employers and employees because it is not necessary to have a physical office to giving a service to customers. Nowadays, people are not only worry to take care of their property in case of assault or robbery; with e-commerce through internet there is more to take care: personal information. Logically, with every trade in websites, personal information is recorded, data such as name, address, banking account, etc. is recorded and this data is now one of the greatest valuable possession because with this information it is possible to know consumer's online purchase intentions which is important part to develop businesses. An example of this is the fact happened in 2017, a company in charge of custody of an important american consumer's data collection lost this information or was illegally obtained from their facilities and close to 2 billion of consumer information might be used in fraudulent intentions. World wide web is an electronic mean that allows access to navigate through internet linked pages or websites since 1990's, was invented by British Technology with the idea to give access to information located in other computers linked on web (w.w.w.). In the same way, more and more points of interest were created in form of websites, such as Youtube or Facebook which are part of social media with high numbers of new members in population in the United States. Social media are websites that allows navigators through the websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. to have social interaction sharing pictures, histories, music, publications, comments and making new friends online. Moreover, social media is having great impact on relationship in population of the United States because is highly popular on teens, some critics are worried about these online interactions instead of traditional face-to-face between members. According a survey, there are different opinions and criticism to social media between population; for those who belong to generation born between 1946 and 1989 are on favor of traditional face-to-face socializing. On the other side, for those who born between 1990 and 1999 their preferences are to have conversation, texting and communication via online. Also, social media is having influence role because politicians are using digital means to upload campaign in form of advertisement on accounts. Moreover, companies send advertisement according to age, location or sex. Also, employers might analyze candidate's social media account and publications to decide before giving a job. Because internet is more and more popular, is playing an important role in the society and economics. With availability of cellphones or smartphones powered with internet individuals have the possibility to know everything they want to know "in the pocket"for instances: last news on digital news channels or buying goods online. In the same way, retailers have seen opportunities to open more stores online through websites full of services and products, everything charged online with full detailed pictures. This new culture (to shop online) is evolving rapidly. According to Gian Fulgony graphic: "consumers spent more time on February visiting online stores using smartphones and tablet than desktop computers. The numbers of minutes shopping with smartphones jumped 385 percent between February 2010 and February 2013 compared with 17 percent on desktop computers". Most common, is using technology collecting information from shoppers online to conduct data analysis about preferences, habits, location, gender, age, etc. to make retailers efficient when targeted advertisement. Between most popular items sold online are: electronics, apparel and accessories, subscriptions, video games, consoles, books, etc. Customers who used to buy online modality are taking an account that shopping online present some advantages, for example: shopping whenever they want without having a trip to brick-and-mortar store, acceding and buying with credit card transaction on online-stores twenty four hours, seven days a week, the whole year, and with goods delivered directly at home. Also, on these transactions, customers had positive customer satisfaction. However, not all population are agree to buy online, there are negative comments for bad experiences when the item was received or because help on store is needed when buying. On the other hand, some people are worry about the security of their information recorded online.

In conclusion, world Wide Web and internet are changing our lifestyle since 1990's. Since that time our life were spliced with an old and new methods to do our simple routines, no matter how simple or difficult the tasks are, such as read the news, listening to music, to buy all we need without or to find an old friend, etc. As we can see, distances are shorter, seconds matters, unlimited information and knowledge, etc. The way how internet and their technology behind the three simple words: w.w.w. has evolved until today does not left nothing to imagine what else in coming on next days. The questions are how? or what else? Technology has had great success in our society because is resolving our daily problems and that is why has been widely accepted. Society never thought that a telephone were used to do more than a simple phone call. But, why technology has evolved in shorter years? Who knows? maybe because we need to be faster, or people is smarter today, or because we need all these invention. Without doubt, we are in the earlier days or years of technological advances and everything because three simple letters (w.w.w.) made amazing changes in the history.
