Structure of the Web

  • The information available on the World Wide Web travels over a computer network called the Internet. The Internet consists of connections between a vast number of computers around the world.


  • Compared to publishing a book or producing a television show, creating a Web page is easy and inexpensive.


  • Many individuals who cannot reach large audiences through traditional media such as books, radio, or television can communicate their ideas on the Web.


  • In addition to these individually-produced Web pages, many businesses and organizations are finding the Web to be an excellent method of distributing information to the public.
