 | | The World Wide Web, or 'web', is a service that allows computer users to quickly and easily navigate the Internet, giving them access to hundreds of millions of multimedia documents ('pages'), interlinked by hypertext -- references to other documents (on the same or another computer), that might also be of interest to the user. |
 | | The web was conceived in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee and colleagues at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland., as a way for scientists to share documents and data. |
 | | Their fundamental creations, which the web has been built on, were HTML, and HTTP - a protocol for hypertext transfer from servers to clients. |
