First and foremost "The Web" isn't really anything you could see, touch or feel. Without going into to much history, what today is the "World Wide Web" is mostly an outgrowth of one man's application and development of software to "Hyper Link" Documents in a standard way. The "developer" of this, Tim Berners-Lee, was looking for a way to "skip" through documents on shared computers. He wanted to be able to read about something, say cooking a turkey, and go from one person's recipe to another, on a second computer, without having to completely reprogram the computer. He developed a computer language called "Hyper Text Markup Language" or "HTML" for short. What this means is within a document you can link to another document on the same computer or, with a connection, to one on another computer. This "Mentor" is all done in HTM Language. |
| People have caught on to this language to communicate across the "internet" at a tremendous rate. One of the very important things about this, which has helped it's growth, is that it can be viewed on any type of computer with a "Browser". That can be a MacIntosh, PC, UNIX, LINUX etc.
