WWW (disambiguation) facts for kids
WWW most often stands for the World Wide Web. This is a huge system of connected documents and other web resources. You can access them using the Internet. Think of it like a giant library where all the books are linked together, and you can jump from one to another easily!
But sometimes, WWW can mean other things too. Let's explore some of them!
What is the World Wide Web?
The World Wide Web, or just "the Web," is how most people use the Internet every day. It's a collection of websites and web pages that you can view with a web browser like Chrome or Firefox. These pages are connected using hyperlinks, which are like special links that let you jump from one page to another with a click.
How the Web Works
When you type a website address, like `www.example.com`, into your browser, your computer sends a request. This request goes to a special computer called a web server. The web server then sends the website's information back to your computer. Your browser then shows you the page. It's a bit like ordering a book from a library, and the librarian (the server) sends it to you.
Who Created the Web?
The World Wide Web was invented by a British computer scientist named Tim Berners-Lee. He created it in 1989 while working at CERN, a big science lab in Switzerland. His idea was to make it easier for scientists to share information. He also created the first web browser and the first web server.
