The World-Wide Web (W3) was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, enabling remote collaborators to share ideas and common projects. It was created by physicists and engineers at CERN, who used a personal hypertext system for a distributed project. The Web was designed to allow information to smoothly reshape when new relationships between projects are found, enabling rapid expansion across the Internet. The Web's client-server architecture allows users to navigate hypertext documents, retrieve information from servers, and search for content. The Web uses a common addressing system (URI) and a network protocol (HTTP) to enable information sharing. It also uses a markup language (HTML) for transmitting text, menus, and help information. The Web has evolved to include a wide range of formats and protocols, allowing for the integration of multimedia and other data types. The Web's architecture is based on a client-server model, with clients retrieving information from servers. The Web has grown significantly since its inception, with many servers and client programs available. The Web has also been used for commercial purposes, with virtual stores and other services. The Web is a key technology in the field of information technology, with ongoing developments in areas such as hypertext editors, data formats, and integration with other systems. The Web is a platform for communication, learning, and commerce, with a growing number of users and applications. The Web's future includes the development of new technologies and the expansion of its capabilities. The Web is a significant achievement in the field of information technology, with a wide range of applications and potential for further development.The World-Wide Web (W3) was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, enabling remote collaborators to share ideas and common projects.
