This data is written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and web browsers read this code to create what we see, hear and experience on the internet. When the web browser fetches data from an internet connected server, it uses a piece of software called a rendering engine to translate that data into text and images. Creating consistency between browsers, so that any user can enjoy the internet, regardless of the browser they choose, is called web standards. For users, this means that a website can look and function differently. Sadly, not all browser makers choose to interpret the format in the same way. This information needs to be shared and displayed in a consistent format so that people using any browser, anywhere in the world can see the information. The information is transferred using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which defines how text, images and video are transmitted on the web. It retrieves information from other parts of the web and displays it on your desktop or mobile device. In a short period of time, we’ve gone from being amazed by the ability to send an email to someone around the world, to a change in how we think about information.Ī web browser takes you anywhere on the internet. It’s not a question of how much you know anymore, but simply a question of what browser or app can get you to that information fastest. In a short period of time we’ve gone from being amazed by the ability to send an email to someone around the world, to a change in how we think of information. We use web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Apple Safari every day, but do we understand what they are and how they work? It’s important that everyone has access to the web, but it’s also vital that we all understand the tools we use to access it. Depending on how it’s used, it bridges nations, drives commerce, nurtures relationships, drives the innovation engine of the future and is responsible for more memes than we know what to do with. Over the course of a few decades, the internet has changed the way we work, the way we play and the way we interact with one another.
