The Yellow Pages refers to a directory of businesses, typically categorized by the type of product or service they provide. Originating in 1883, the term ‘Yellow Pages’ has become a globally recognized term, not specific to any country or region. Its name stemmed from an incident where a printer used yellow paper, instead of white. The first official directory was created by Reuben H. Donnelley in 1886. Traditionally published annually and distributed for free, the Yellow Pages has adapted over time, with a substantial online presence known as Internet[1] Yellow Pages, or IYP. Despite this, the use of printed directories has declined due to the rise of internet search engines. The Yellow Pages are known for their ‘Walking Fingers’ logo, which is widely used but not trademarked.

Définitions des termes
1. Internet ( Internet ) L'internet est un système mondial de réseaux informatiques interconnectés qui utilisent des protocoles de communication normalisés, principalement le TCP/IP, pour relier des appareils dans le monde entier. Issu du terme "internetted" utilisé en 1849, le terme "Internet" a ensuite été utilisé par le ministère américain de la guerre en 1945. Son développement a commencé avec des informaticiens qui ont créé des systèmes de partage de temps dans les années 1960 et a progressé avec la création d'ARPANET en 1969. L'internet est autogéré, sans autorité centrale, et ses principaux espaces de noms sont administrés par l'Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Il a considérablement transformé les moyens de communication traditionnels et s'est développé de manière exponentielle au fil des ans, le nombre d'internautes augmentant de 20% à 50% par an. En 2019, plus de la moitié de la population mondiale utilisait l'internet. La suite de protocoles internet, qui comprend le protocole TCP/IP et quatre couches conceptuelles, guide les paquets internet jusqu'à leur destination.

Le World Wide Web, une collection mondiale de documents interconnectés, est un élément clé de l'internet.
Pages jaunes (Wikipedia)

Les yellow pages sont telephone directories ou businesses, organized by category rather than alphabetically by business name, in which publicité is sold. The directories were originally printed on yellow paper, as opposed to white pages for non-commercial listings. The traditional term "yellow pages" is now also applied to online directories of businesses.

In many countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and elsewhere, "Yellow Pages" (or any applicable local translations), as well as the "Walking Fingers" logo introduced in the 1970s by the Bell System–era AT&T, are registered trademarks, though the owner varies from country to country, usually being held by the main national telephone company (or a subsidiary or spinoff thereof). However, in the United States, neither the name nor the logo was registered as trademarks by AT&T, and they are freely used by several publishers.
