The World Wide Web (WWW), often known as the Web, is an information system in which documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs, such as https://example.com/), which may be connected via hyperlinks, and are accessible over the Internet. The Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP) transfers Web resources, which users may access through a software program called a web browser and published by a software application called a web server. The World Wide Web is not the same as the Internet, which predates the Web in some form by more than two decades and is based on the same technology as the Web.

Tim Berners-Lee, an English physicist, created the World Wide Web in 1989. In 1990, while working at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, he created the first web browser. In January 1991, the browser was made available to other research institutes outside of CERN, and in August 1991, it was made available to the general public. When websites for general use were available in 1993″4, the Web began to enter everyday use. The World Wide Web is the principal tool that billions of people use to interact on the Internet, and it has played a key role in the development of the Information Age.

Web resources can be any sort of downloadable material, but web pages are Hypertext Markup Language-formatted hypertext documents (HTML). Users can navigate to other online sites using special HTML syntax that shows embedded hyperlinks with URLs. In addition to text, web pages may include references to pictures, video, audio, and software components displayed or processed internally in the user’s web browser to produce pages or streams of multimedia material.

A website is made up of several web resources having a common subject and, in most cases, a single domain name. Websites are kept on computers that run a web server, a program that answers requests sent over the Internet by web browsers on the user’s computer. A publisher can offer website material, or user-generated content can be used interactively. Websites are available for a variety of purposes, including information, entertainment, commerce, and government.

The fundamental notion of hypertext was first developed in the 1960s with programs like Brown University’s Hypertext Editing System (HES), Ted Nelson’s Project Xanadu, and Douglas Engelbart’s oN-Line System (NLS). Vannevar Bush’s microfilm-based memex, detailed in the 1945 essay “As We May Think,” influenced both Nelson and Engelbart. By the second part of the 1980s, Tim Berners-vision Lee’s global hyperlinked information system had become a reality. The worldwide Internet began to spread throughout Europe in 1985, and the Domain Name System (on which the Uniform Resource Locator is based) was created. Berners-Lee began openly discussing the potential of a web-like system at CERN in 1988, when the first direct IP link between Europe and North America was established.

Berners-Lee got irritated with the inefficiencies and difficulty of locating information stored on multiple systems while working at CERN. On March 12, 1989, he submitted a memorandum to CERN management titled “Information Management: A Proposal” for a system called “Mesh” that referenced ENQUIRE, a database and software project he had built in 1980, which used the term “web” and described a more elaborate information management system based on links embedded as text: “Imagine, then, the references in this document all being based on links embedded as text: “Imagine, then, the

He indicated that such a system might be referred to by one of the current definitions of hypertext, which he claims was invented in the 1950s. There’s no reason why such hypertext connections couldn’t also include multimedia materials like images, voice, and video, according to the idea, which is why Berners-Lee coined the word hypermedia.
