0. The internet is the same as the World Wide Web
TRUE FALSE
One of the world’s most important inventions is celebrating its 30th birthday.
If you’re reading this, you’re using a piece of technology that’s celebrating its 30th birthday. It’s an invention that
changed the world, but which invention do you think we’re talking about? The internet? The World Wide Web? If you
thought they were both the same thing, then keep reading …
The internet vs. the World Wide Web

The internet and the web are not exactly the same thing, then? No, actually. The internet has been around since the
early 1970s – twenty years longer than the web. It is basically a huge network made up of smaller networks of
computers. The World Wide Web is built on top of the internet. It’s a way of sharing information in the form of
webpages, using a kind of computer language called HTTP. That’s why URLs often start http://www – because http is the
language and www means World Wide Web. By the way, no one knows why web addresses use //. Even the web’s
inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, says these ‘forward slashes’ are not really necessary and if he could go back in time thirty
years and invent the World Wide Web again, he would take them out.
The beginning of the World Wide Web

In 1989, when British scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the web, he was working at CERN in Switzerland. They had
computers, of course, and email already existed (Queen Elizabeth II sent an email in 1976). The idea of domain names –
web addresses showing the name of the organisation they belong to (like ‘britishcouncil.org’) – also existed. They used
hypertext to jump from one document to another, but none of these things worked together so they weren’t very
useful.
Berners-Lee was frustrated at CERN because all the scientists had different kinds of computers that couldn’t ‘speak’ to
each other. If you wanted information you had to remember exactly which computer that information was on and know
how to use the specific programs for that computer. Berners-Lee had an idea for an ‘imaginary information system
which everyone can read’. He wrote a report that suggested a way of putting the internet, domain names and hypertext
together into one system. His idea was so abstract that his boss called it ‘vague but exciting’. Two years later, in 1991,
the world’s first website was built at CERN, http://info.cern.ch (the site you can see now is a copy made in 1992).
The digital divide

Today, thirty years later, that idea is no longer vague and is part of many people’s everyday reality. The web connects
about 55 per cent of the world’s population to the rest of the world via the internet. But because only half the world is
connected, there is a ‘digital divide’ between communities with regular internet access and those without. In North
America, 95 per cent of people have internet access and so do 85 per cent of Europeans. Compare this with Asia, where
only half the population has internet access, and Africa, at 36 per cent. In some of the least developed countries, young
people are three times more likely to be online than older adults.
The United Nations says the world’s least developed countries will have universal internet access by 2020. They expect
to achieve this with the help of low-cost mobile phone services which include internet. This is the key to ending the
digital divide. When the web is available to everyone, just like Tim Berners-Lee imagined, people everywhere can enjoy
the social, educational and economic advantages it brings.
This article is part of Anyone//Anywhere: the web at 30, a year-long programme of projects and partnerships looking at
the impact of the World Wide Web on our lives. Find out more here: https://www.britishcouncil.org/anyone-anywhere

Bullying
Why do we need to take action against bullying?

Sadly, bullying is really common. In a study of young people in the UK aged 12-20, half of them said they had been
bullied. About 1.5 million young people in the UK were bullied last year, and many of these were bullied every day.
People who are bullied are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety. They might lose interest in the activities
they enjoy, avoid spending time with other people and not go to classes or school, which has a negative effect on their
learning.
What is bullying?
Bullying is not just physical, like hitting or kicking someone, or taking their things without permission. Bullying can also
be with words – saying or writing things that are not nice. Another type of bullying is social – choosing not to include
someone, embarrassing someone or telling other people not to be friends with them. Bullying can happen at school, on
public transport, when you're walking home, online ... in fact, it can happen anywhere. Bullying involves an imbalance of
power – one person (or a group of people) that is more powerful than another. Maybe this person has private
information or is more popular, or maybe they are physically bigger and stronger.
The roles kids play

Bullying usually involves more people than you think. There are the people who bully and those who are bullied. (It is
better not to say ‘the bully’ and ‘the victim’ because that makes it sound like things can’t change.) Sometimes other
people help the bully or join in. Then there are the kids that support – they don’t bully anyone directly, but they support
the bullying by being an audience. They laugh or encourage the children who are bullying in other ways. This is why it’s
important for everyone to work together against bullying. Some children see what is happening and want to help,
although they don’t know how. Others may comfort and defend the person being bullied. To stop bullying we need
everyone to be brave and take a stand.
How to help
Does your school do anything to prevent bullying? Why don’t you create a student anti-bullying group? This group can
do many things. Let the head teacher know how well the school is doing with fighting bullying and give them advice.
Choose an anti-bullying slogan for your school, make posters and displays or take over the school’s social media for a
week to send out anti-bullying messages.
Bullying is a social problem and it needs a solution from society – in other words, everyone. The next time you see
someone being cruel to someone else, take a stand! Don’t laugh or ignore what’s happening – tell an adult as soon as
possible and help everyone to realise that bullying is not OK.
