World Wide Web
The WWW is made up of interactive and graphical tools that provides for the exchange of information and ideas. The www was actually conceived as a way for physicists to share their data. In 1998 Tim Burners – Lee led a team in Switzerland to develop the initial idea. Key among these was hyper or “hot” portions, an online which, when selected, takes the user to a related or “linked” i.e. if the user were reading about dinosaurs on the WWW and selected the hyper world “tyrannosaurus” he would then go directly to a dealing specifically with that species.
Every computer needs an Internet Service Provider (ISP) browser to assess the WWW. With the browser one can navigate through the web, also it allows one to go back and forward through web page visited. Other functions available in the browser which the WWW needs are:
• URL – this is the address for web pages
• Buttons – to click and access another resource page
• Hyper hotlink – is clicked on for – sponsors and other reference page and some downloads – music, video clips, software
• Bookmark/holists/favorites – save the address of favorites sites
Today several web browsers are available for IBM and Macintosh based computers and most of the major online services include web browsers in standard packages.
The WWW is so easy to use one simple has to point the cursor the cursor and click on one’s browser, which also allows web pages to be viewed through any computer which is connected to the internet and has a browser. It also makes the ability for software and data files easy to download. Hyper and multimedia are two outstanding aspects of the WWW.
