Evolution of World Wide Web
What is the World Wide Web?
• The WWW (World Wide Web), often known as
the Web, is a system of information used by the
Internet as a service to fetch information that is
requested by the user. Some people often get
confused and consider the Internet and world
wide are the same thing. Although they are
related to each other, both are two different
systems.
• The www is an information system where web
resources and documents are kept and identified and
accessed by URL (Uniform Resource Locators)
• Don't be confused by www. The www stands for
World Wide Web, we can understand World Wide
Web meaning as a repository of information in the
form of web resources (Any type of downloadable
media, website, web page, web services, email).
• World Wide Web, also commonly referred to as www is a term we
frequently hear about. Though this has become an integral part
of our lives, many still feel it is same as the Internet. However,
Internet and World Wide Web are closely linked and are two
different entities. Internet refers to a global network of
computers interconnected in a specific way. The World Wide
Web or www is a collection of web resources and pages found
over this network. To access the world wide web, a web browser
is needed.
• A broader definition of www provided by World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) is: "The World Wide Web is the universe of
network-accessible information, an embodiment of human
• With the communication provided by the internet, we
can perform many daily transactions. For example,
we can chat with our friends, share/receive files,
but besides these, the most common use of the
Internet is the World Wide Web. In 1989, Tim
Berners-Lee established a user-friendly system for
categorizing and collecting information, first
experimented with at CERN, and, you guessed it,
called the World Wide Web.
•The Web or WWW (World Wide Web)
is an information system that access
information over the internet. It is used
as a service to retrieve information
from a user by using a client-server
architecture.
Some important points of the Web
1. It is an information system that accessed by using a web
browse and a web server.
2. It uses the Hyper text Transfer Protocol (HTTP).
3. Web resources and documents are identified and accessed
by Uniform Resource Locators (URLS).
4. Documents are managed in HTML (Hyper Text Markup
Language) form.
5. HyperText is used to go from one document to another
which contains a hyperlink (reference).
6. The total number of active websites is more than
1,295,973,827 as of January 2020.
Know about the Web Resource
• Anything that can be acquired from the World Wide
Web such as a website, web page, web service,
email, and information from databases is identified
as the Web Resources.
• The web resource's early concept was different from
that present time, It was static (non-moving) files or
documents. We can apparently see changes in web
resources after the Internet was introduced for the
first time.
• On The Web, users
can retrieve a
variety of web
pages and
documents that are
interconnected
with each other by
using hypertext
links
• The Hypertext can be text on a web page, a computer
application, or any other electronic devices that have
hyperlinks (references) to some other document or
text which is immediately accessed by the reader.
• We can often see it during Internet surfing.
Hyperlinks are used to connect the hypertext
document and are easily used by clicking with the
mouse, keypress by a keyboard or by touching the
screen (often screen touch mobile).
• Web pages are a good resource of the World
Wide Web that are normally designed using
the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
Images, audio, video, and other related
components may be found on a web page.
• The Web page can display these hypermedia
using a theme as a well- organized page of
multimedia content
Let's go for some quick learning
• HTTP: Stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol. It is
a protocol used in the World Wide Web that defines
messages that will be formatted transmitted and
define the action of the web servers and browsers.
• HTML: It stands for HyperText Markup Language
used to create web pages. It describes the structure
of a web page.
• Web Browser: It is a software program used to
access a web page via the Internet.

The evolution of World Wide Web
• The web has seen a drastic evolution over the
past two decades. The first developed
websites were plain static contents and
required a lot more HTML expertise. The
HTML code had to be handwritten without
any easy to use editors This is also commonly

data and provide data insights. This allows a more
useful and relevant content to be showcased to users.
