How The World Wide Web Has Changed Society |
||
"The World Wide Web ("WWW", or simply "Web" is an information space in which the items of interest, referred to as resources, are identified by global identifiers called Uniform Resource Identifiers . It is often confused as being analagous to the entire Internet, whereas in fact it is a major subset of it. The purpose of the WWW is to allow users to view or make use of more than just text.
The Web, officially launched as an offshoot of the Internet in 1989, has not been around that long. However, it has become a huge part of many people’s lives; enabling them to communicate, work, and play in a global context. The Web is all about relationships, and has made these relationships possible between individuals, groups, and communities where they wouldn’t have been otherwise. This Web is a community without borders, limits, or even rules; and has become a true world of its own. |
