The Web is part of the Internet. The Internet can exist without the Web, but the Web cannot exist without the Internet. Dr. Tim Berners-Lee has two contributions to the creation of the Web:
* In 1990 he wrote a small computer program called HTTP, which became the language computers use to transmit hypertext documents over the Internet.
*He created a program called HTML that creates hyperlinked documents. Marc Andreessen's contributions include:
* In 1993, he released Mosaic, the first graphical browser, which made the number of people using the Web increase significantly.
* In 1994, he cofounded Netscape Communications. Web 2.0 is also called the participatory Web. Web 2.0 refers to Web sites where users can modify the content, and includes blogs, social networking sites, wikis, and software built into the site.
