The Internet is sometimes also known as "[[cyberspace]]." Most users are familiar with the [[World Wide Web]] of homepages, marked up with [[HTML]]; the Web is facilitated by one of numerous protocols that operate on the Internet. There is also [[email]], [[FTP|file transfer]], etc.
The common protocol used to access websites (including this one) is the Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The creator of this is [[Sir Tim Berners-Lee]], who recently in an online magazine article claimed that given the opportunity, he wouldn't use the HTTP format for websites. Berners-Lee is currently the director of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).
