The World Wide Web (the web or WWW) gives you a graphical, easy-to- navigate interface for looking at documents on the Internet. These documents, as well as the links between them, comprise a "web" of information.

The web lets you jump or "hyperlink" from one web page to other pages on the web. You can think of the web as a big library. Web sites are like the books, and web "pages" are like specific pages in the books. Pages can contain news, images, movies, sounds, 3D worlds -- just about anything. These pages can be located on computers anywhere in the world. When you are connected to the web, you have equal access to information worldwide; there are no additional long-distance charges or restrictions.
