WORLD WIDE WEB
A number of computers hosting web
pages that can be accessed through an Internet connection and
viewed through a web browser. It is the most familiar part of the
Internet.
More Detailed Definition:
A system of Internet servers that
support specially formatted documents. The documents are formatted
in a script called HTML (HyperText Markup Language) that supports
links to other documents, as well as graphics, audio, and video
files. This means you can jump from one document to another simply
by clicking on hot spots. Not all Internet servers are part of the
World Wide Web.
There are several applications called Web browsers that make it
easy to access the World Wide Web; Two of the most popular being
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
World Wide Web is not synonymous with the Internet.
