Question

In what ways is the World Wide Web different from other servers on the Internet?

Answer 1

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a system on the Internet made up of programs, standards, and protocols. It allows multimedia files to be created, displayed, and linked on the Internet. Before the WWW, the Internet was mainly used to get text-based information. Services like FTP, Gopher, mail, and news mostly provided textual information, while the WWW uses HTTP servers to provide multimedia information. It allows users to view hypertext and multimedia content through web browsers.
