The World Wide Web
The Web (or W3) is synonymous with the
Internet but is technically a subpart of the Internet. It was
developed (1989-91)more than 20 years after the Internet (1960s) to simplify the
exchange of files over the global network.
The Web integrates all Internet
applications through a single interface, the software package known as
the web browser. Popular browsers include Internet Explorer,
AOL, Netscape.
Some metaphors for the Web include digital
library, information superhighway, and virtual park.
