The World Wide Web (abbreviated as WWW or W3, commonly known as the Web), is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia, and navigate between them via hyperlinks.

What I think it is...

me...

I think the world wide web, as an acronym is a clever idea of a web. The world wide Web, also known as WWW is a web that connects web pages. These web pages are the pages we view in everyday life. For example facebook is a small string in the whole world wide web connecting with other websites thus creating a web of pages/sites. The internet is sort of like the spider of the web, giving access to any string on the web. The spider can sit on a piece of the web and view it then move on.
