What is the World Wide Web?



``The World Wide Web (WWW, W3, or the Web) is a body of information transmitted over the network of cables and computers that is the Internet. The Web was originally developed at the Swiss research center CERN as a way for physicists there to share information. The Web now uses the Internet to make information available to computer users internationally.''
