The internet rules over the world. There are approximately five billion internet users in the world today. This figure may not make sense to anyone who cannot fathom how big the number billion is. So here’s another way to explain the scale of internet presence globally. More people are internet users than not! Yet another striking figure is the number of devices connected to the internet; today that number is thirty-five thousand million. For comparison’s sake, that is more than a hundred times the number of people staying in the United States of America. Here’s yet another figure that will astonish you: there are more than seven thousand internet services in the country. By an internet service, we mean a set of internet plans provided by a single telecommunications company. An example of an internet service is Xfinity internet.
It only makes sense for us to discuss a lot of something that impacts our lives to such momentous levels. The internet is no exception. Some of us find ourselves deliberating upon whether it is appropriate for us to allow children to use the internet while some others discuss which scientists contributed the most to the development of the network of networks. Many others also discuss more practical things such as the pros and cons of various aspects of the internet. In the case that you belong to the last category of people, there is no better place for you to be than here. The reason we say this is because we are sure that, in this piece, we will be discussing the advantages of, without a doubt, the most commonly used internet application – the World Wide Web.
World Wide Web
The World Wide Web is one of the most sought-after applications in the world today. People all around the world use it for a variety of purposes. It consists of many different web pages. Its inventor – a British computer scientist by the name of Sir Timothy Berners Lee–made the World Wide Web in such a way that all of its web pages could be linked to one another. Thus, the term “web.” At the time when the British computer scientist was working for CERN or the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the World Wide Web was invented. This was in the former half of the decade of the 1990s and the latter half of the decade of the 1980s. Now, we come to the world wide web’s advantages.
