- Basic Explanation: The web is like a vast digital space filled with websites that you can visit using your computer or phone. It’s like exploring a city of information and entertainment online.
- Practical Example: Think of the web as a gigantic book with countless chapters (websites). Each chapter has its own story (content), and you can jump from one to another just by clicking on links.
- Advanced Explanation: The web, short for World Wide Web, is a global network of interconnected websites and web pages that are accessed via the internet. It’s built on a system of hyperlinks, which allow you to navigate from one page to another. Each website can contain text, images, videos, and interactive elements. The web has transformed how we access and share information, communicate, shop, and entertain ourselves.
