About The World Wide Web
It's not the Internet, although you could be forgiven for confusing the two. It's just one part of the Internet.
The Web is the part of the Internet that gives us light and colour and movement: it's a 'publishing house' for multimedia creations as well as general information.
What has made the Web so popular is its use of graphics and easy menu-driven 'browser' software ('browsing or surfing the Web'), and the way it makes it oh-so-simple to wander around the global network of computers.
With the Web, all you do is click a highlighted or underlined link in the text (or a graphical link) and you're taken to the page, topic or site that link points to.
