Abstract

The World Wide Web (WWW) provides users with a graphical computer interface to access digital information from Internet locations around the world. This information may be in the form of text, images, motion pictures, or sound. Web “pages” may also provide near-instantaneous links to other pages with related interests and information, and have the capability of allowing users to fill out forms on-line requesting additional information or services. WWW access is becoming increasingly available to individuals either through direct network links or by a modem connection through an Internet provider, the latter method generally requiring either SLIP or PPP service to establish a link. The background of WWW, its potential, and its future development will be discussed.
