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.
