The World Wide Web (WWW or Web) is an information space in which documents and other web resources are identified using Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interconnected by hypertext links and can be accessed via the Internet. English scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. He wrote the first web browser computer program in 1990 while working at CERN in Switzerland. The web browser was launched outside CERN in 1991, first to other research institutions as of January 1991 and to the general public on the Internet in August 1991.
The World Wide Web has been central to the development of the information age and is the main tool that billions of people use to interact on the Internet. Web pages are mainly text documents formatted and annotated with HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). In addition to formatted text, web pages can contain images, video, audio, and software components that are represented in the user's web browser as consistent pages of multimedia content.
Embedded hyperlinks allow users to navigate between web pages. Several web pages with a common theme, a common domain name, or both, form a website. The content of the website can be largely provided by the publisher, or interactively where users contribute content or content depends on users or their actions. Websites can be mostly informative, mainly for entertainment, or primarily for commercial, governmental or non-governmental organization purposes.
