World Wide Web

The World Wide Web is comprised of hundreds of thousands of web servers around the world that store data and transfer files from one machine to another over the Internet.

Using a web browser, a user can click on a hyperlink and easily move from one web page to another or from one website to another, without having to enter cryptic or complex file names.
