definition of www

The WWW, short for World Wide Web, is the global global network for exchanging documents through hypertext, commonly known as the Internet.

For computing, the World Wide Web is a system of information and documents linked through hypertext and hypermedia that can be accessed through the Internet, more specifically, with a web browser.

In 1989 Tim Berners Lee and Robert Cailiau, two researchers from CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) created the Web, later intervening in the development of the various standards and Web scenarios based on their invention.

The operation of the Web occurs through web browsers (the most common, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Safari). The user can view the content included in pages and websites by entering a Url address in the given field. Thus, you have access to text, images, videos, audio and all kinds of content, and navigate between multiple content units using hyperlinks that lead you through simple clicks.

"Www" is now a worldwide standard that most websites include as part of their address and is required to enter and navigate the web. While the Internet is not simply about the exchange of information and content through websites, it is perhaps one of the most widespread uses of this technology.

Easily, any user can not only access, but also generate their own content to be published on the WWW through free and fast applications, which allow the exchange of information from and to all parts of the world using the same navigation protocol. The "www" is a protocol closely linked with the "http", ".net", "jsp", "php" and "asp", among others.

To facilitate navigation and the search for information on the Web, there are so-called search engines, such as Google or Yahoo, which allow a user to enter a term of interest and receive hundreds of thousands of websites related to that concept or keyword.
