The main notion is to view web pages which are hypertextdocuments through internet. Internet has been developing since the 1960s which isused as a method to transfer information across various systems working in differentlocations. Tim Berner Lee thought to combine hypertext and with the internet nodesthe internet nodes (Shadbolt et al. 2012).Later on, with the help of Robert Cailliau he produced the first version ofWorld Wide Web. Because of the discovery of World Wide Web, people from allacross the globe can view web pages from any location on the internet. The importantelements for this development are URL, HTML, and HTTP. URL (UniformResource Locator) is mainly used for recognising the location of various web pages.HTML (Hyper Text Mark Up Language) is mainly used for publishing various web

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is mainly used for serving up the webpages on the request from user (Berners-Lee and O’Hara2013).In the year 1994Berner Lee founded an organisation known as W3C (WorldWide Web Consortium) at the computer laboratory of Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology in Boston, USA. The ultimate goal of this organization is to improvethe quality and standard of worldwide web. Berner has a great contribution inshaping a free and open source network for various people of the globe (Shadbolt etal. 2012).Week 2The text discusses the components and activities of operating systems however islargely silent on the individuals who played a role in their development. Find and summarise

Linus Benedict TorvaldsReferencesTakahashi, N. and Takamatsu, T., 2013. UNIX license makes Linux the last majorpiece of the puzzle.Annals of Business Administrative Science,12(3), pp.123-137.Castro, J.D., 2016. Deconstructing a Linux Distro. InIntroducing Linux Distros(pp.3-15). ApressURL: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Linus-TorvaldsLinus Benedict Torvalds is a Finnish-American software engineer who is acreator and principal developer of Linux Kernel (Castro, 2016). Later on, Linuxkernel become the core operating system for various OS like Linux, Android andchrome. The first version of Linux OS that is 1.0 was released in the year of 1994. Inthe beginning Torvalds wanted to name his kernel as Freax (a combination of theword free and freak with letter X at the end). Later on, receiving an advice from hisfriend Ari Lemmke he changed the name (Takahashi and Takamatsu, 2013).In the year of 2006, a report stated that about two percent of the Linux kernelwas hand written by Torvalds. On comparing others contribution to the developmentof Linux his percentage was highest among all (Castro, 2016). Later on, in the year2012 he stated that his own developed codes are merging with the codes written byothers. Till now Torvalds has the highest authority to decide that which code shouldbe implement in the Linux kernel for its better performance (Takahashi andTakamatsu, 2013).Operating system like Linux is not as easy as other operating system likeWindows, Apple’s Mac OS or IBM OS/2 (Castro, 2016). On the contrary Linux OS
