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.
