The World Wide Web
The WWW is based on technology called hypertext.
Most of the development took place at CERN (The European Particle Physics Laboratory)
The WWW is a tool for prowling around the Internet (It is not the same thing than the Internet)
The WWW is accessed by using a public-access client program (a browser) (e.g., Netscape’s or Microsoft's)
for a terminal try telnet to info.cern.ch
Hypertext is a method of presenting information where selected words can be “expanded” at any time to provide other information about the word.
