before 1995 Internet Explorer was the main web browser for years and years, so it was already installed on computers. However, around 2003, Safari was introduced, and in 2004 Firefox was introduced. After that, there were more options for people to do. Before Safari and Firefox, HTML, SSL, Java, Flash, etc. were used, but after many more programs and websites were utilized to revolutionize the internet. After Chrome was introduced around 2008, different websites and programs were used to make internet life even cooler!

The History of HTML
http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/starthere/historyofhtml.html/

HTML is an evolving language.

HTML 1.0 is the first release. Not many people were involved, and language was very limited.

HTML 2.0 = HTML 1.0 +a few new features. Web design standard until 1997

HTML 3.0 = People were getting more into HTML. Websites wanted to enhance the look of their sites. Netscape made HTML users happy by introducing proprietary tags and attributes to their Netscape browser. These were called extention tags. Other browsers tried to replicate this, but failed cause it woudn't look right on their own.

Dave Raggett introduced an HTML draft for HTML 3.0, which had many more features. But browers were slow to implement, and those specs were abandoned.

People in charge noted this and future improvements were designed to be modular, which meant they could be added in stages.

HTML 3.2 = W3C, or World Wide Wed Consortium was founded to standardise HTML and keep it evolving in the right direction because browers were gerrting fiesty with eachother and their tags.

HTML 4.01 = Large evolution of HTML standards. New supporting preesentational language-->Cascading stylesheets. Recommended by W3C in '97 and became standrd in '98.

XHTML 1.0 = joint standard with HMTL 4.01.

HTML 5 = People working on XHTML 2 got sidetracked and taking HTML 5 now. Looked unrealistic and clear that a new approach was needed. Technology fans started to build their own code outside W3C procedures.Code must be properly written once it reaches the reader's browser
