WORLD WIDE WEB
Since 1993, The World Wide Web(WWW) has become one of the fastest growing communication systems in history. Consisting of an expanding pool of 'pages' created by companies, associations, and individuals, it is accessible to anyone connected to the internet.
Two features of the Web make it appealing. The first is the non-linear method of presenting information known as 'hypertext'. This enables users to jump between documents of subject-related material at the click of the mouse. The second is the multimedia format of web pages, which can be designed using sophisticated graphics, sound and animation and displayed on-screen by a program called a 'graphical browser'.
Since the development of the browser, the Web has become more sophisticated and easier to use and interest in the WWW has exploded.
