Essential concepts that are part of HTTP include (as its name implies) the idea that files can contain references to other files (links) whose selection will elicit additional transfer requests. Your Web browser is an HTTP client, sending requests to server machines when you type in a web address (www.nbc.com) or click on a link.

A. The number of songs available to trade on Napster has dropped by more than half as the service, under court order, continues to refine its file-filtering system.

More songs are likely to disappear soon as the record industry adds to the list of files it considers to be infringing on copyrights.

Napster hopes to launch a fee-based service in July. It has effectively now blocked access to nearly 60,000 songs, including hits by Madonna, The Beatles and Elvis Presley.

The U.S. Department of Defense laid the foundation of the Internet roughly 30 years ago with a network called ARPANET. Limited to educational and scientific use, ARPANET was a very technical experiment.

The general public didn't use the Internet much until after the development of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s. Basicaly, the World Wide Web is a graphical document standard (based upon a computer language called HTML) that allows the sharing of millions and millions of documents (Web Pages) among all those who are connected to the network of computers known as the INTERNET (formerly known as ARPANET).

As recently as June 1993, there were only 130 Web sites. Now there are millions and millions of Web sites. It was the "easy to use" graphical nature of HTML documents that contributed greatly to the growth of the World Wide Web as we know it.

No one authority controls the World Wide Web. Today's Web site authoring tools allow virtually anyone who has access to a computer and the Internet to post a Web site and contribute to the definition of what this medium is and what it can do.

All of this in just the last few years... and you ain't seen nothing yet. What a great time in history to be alive!
