The World Wide Web

The World Wide Web (W3)

The World Wide Web is probably the second most widely-used Internet service (with electronic mail being the first.) It's relatively easy for anyone to make a "web page", and, most importantly, to connect their web pages to related pages, owned by other people, without making any prior arrangement. That means, if you make a page about growing pears in New England, and no about another page about farming in New England, you can add a "pointer" to that other page.
