What is Telecommunications

Telecommunication today is typically the electronic transmission of data, voice, image and video over networks. In the 1990s telecommunication went through tremendous growth and change. This was the result of technological innovations, the expansion of electronic networks and government de-regulation.

What is the World Wide Web?

The most widely used part of the Internet is the World Wide Web (often abbreviated "WWW" or called "the Web"). Its outstanding feature is hypertext, a method of instant cross-referencing. In most Web sites, certain words or phrases appear in text of a different color than the rest; often this text is also underlined. When you select one of these words or phrases, you will be transferred to the site or page that is relevant to this word or phrase. Sometimes there are buttons, images, or portions of images that are "clickable." If you move the pointer over a spot on a Web site and the pointer changes into a hand, this indicates that you can click and be transferred to another site.
