World Wide Web (WEB) is an extensive information network that is accessible over the internet. It consists of interlinked hypertext documents, multimedia content, and more that can be accessed and navigated through the use of a web browser. The term "WEB" is often used interchangeably with the internet but, technically speaking, it is only one of many services that can be accessed through the internet. The internet refers to the hardware and software infrastructure that connects computers worldwide, which enables the exchange of data and resources. In contrast, the WEB is the content that is accessible through the internet. This content includes websites, web pages, images, videos, and other multimedia files.
