THE WORLD WIDE WEB
The World Wide Web is an information system on the Internet that allows documents to be
connected to other documents by hypertext links, enabling the user to search for information by moving
from one document to another. Tim-Berners Lee invented it. The World Wide Web browser software,
such as Microsoft’s Internet Explorer/Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple's Safari, and Google Chrome, let
users navigate from one webpage to another via the hyperlinks embedded in the documents. These
documents may also contain any combination of computer data, including graphics, sounds, text, video,
multimedia, and interactive content that runs while the user is interacting with the page. The Web has
enabled individuals and organizations to publish ideas and information to a potentially large audience
online at greatly reduced expense and time daily.
