15 Minute Series What is the World Wide Web?



In Summary:

The World Wide Web is a system, based on hypertext and HTTP, for providing, organizing, and accessing a wide variety of resources (text, images, sound) that are available via the Internet.

The advantages of the Web are its flexibility in organizing and presenting information, its non-hierarchical easy-to-navigate structure, its ability to handle and "understand" many different file formats and Internet protocols, and its overall ease of use.
