superhighway. An organization called World
Wide Web Consortium (W3C) at MIT founded
and still headed by Lee.

Wrote a program which allowed pages of

information to be linked together using
keywords. The document formatting language
used to link these documents is called:
HTML (Hypertext Markup
Language)
Why World Wide Web?
The link which established the
physical connection of documents
from one computer to another
formed like a SPIDER WEB.

The collection of information or files

publicly available resides on
computers is called:
Web servers

locator
3 distinct parts
 Transfer protocol specification
http://

 Domain name
