World Wide Web (WWW)

What is the World Wide Web (WWW)?

The World Wide Web, or simply the Web, is the system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed through the Internet. It’s a way of accessing information through a network of websites using a web browser. The Web utilizes a client-server model where web browsers (clients) request information from web servers. Hyperlinks within documents allow users to easily navigate between different pages and resources. In short, the WWW is the visual interface we use to interact with the internet’s vast collection of data and resources.
