The World Wide Web (WWW), often called the Web, is a system of
interconnected webpages and information that you can access using the
Internet. It was created to help people share and find information easily,
using links that connect different pages together. The Web allows us to
browse websites, watch videos, shop online, and connect with others around
the world through our computers and phones.
All public websites or web pages that people may access on their local
computers and other devices through the internet are collectively known as
the World Wide Web or W3. Users can get further information by navigating
to links interconnecting these pages and documents. This data may be
presented in text, picture, audio, or video formats on the internet.
What is WWW?
WWW stands for World Wide Web and is commonly known as the Web. The
WWW was started by CERN in 1989. WWW is defined as the collection of
different websites around the world, containing different information shared
via local servers(or computers).
Web pages are linked together using hyperlinks which are HTML-formatted
and, also referred to as hypertext, these are the fundamental units of the
Internet and are accessed through Hypertext Transfer Protocol(HTTP) . Such
digital connections, or links, allow users to easily access desired information
by connecting relevant pieces of information. The benefit of hypertext is it
allows you to pick a word or phrase from the text and click on other sites that
have more information about it.
History of the WWW
It is a project created, by Tim Berner Lee in 1989, for researchers to work
together effectively at CERN. It is an organization, named the World Wide
Web Consortium (W3C), which was developed for further development of the
web. This organization is directed by Tim Berner’s Lee, aka the father of the
web. CERN, where Tim Berners worked, is a community of more than 1700
researchers from more than 100 countries. These researchers spend a little
time on CERN and the rest of the time they work at their colleges and
national research facilities in their home country, so there was a requirement
for solid communication so that they can exchange data.
Working of WWW
A Web browser is used to access web pages. Web browsers can be defined
as programs which display text, data, pictures, animation and video on the
Internet. Hyperlinked resources on the World Wide Web can be accessed
using software interfaces provided by Web browsers. Initially, Web browsers
were used only for surfing the Web but now they have become more
universal.
The below diagram indicates how the Web operates just like client-server
architecture of the internet. When users request web pages or other
information, then the web browser of your system request to the server for
the information and then the web server provide requested services to web
browser back and finally the requested service is utilized by the user who
made the request.
