The World Wide Web (WWW), commonly known as the Web, is an information system where

documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs, such
as https://www.example.com/), which may be interlinked by hypertext, and are accessible over
the Internet.[1] The resources of the WWW may be accessed by users by a software
application called a web browser.
English scientist Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989. He wrote the first web
browser in 1990 while employed at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland.[2][3] The browser was released
outside CERN in 1991, first to other research institutions starting in January 1991 and then to the
general public in August 1991. The World Wide Web has been central to the development of
the Information Age and is the primary tool billions of people use to interact on the Internet.[4][5][6]
Web resources may be any type of downloaded media, but web pages are hypertext media that
have been formatted in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).[7] Such formatting allows for
embedded hyperlinks that contain URLs and permit users to navigate to other web resources. In
addition to text, web pages may contain references to images, video, audio, and software
components which are displayed rendered in the user's web browser as coherent pages
of multimedia content.
Multiple web resources with a common theme, a common domain name, or both, make up
a website. Websites are stored in computers that are running a program called a web server that
responds to requests made over the Internet from web browsers running on a user's computer.
Website content can be largely provided by a publisher, or interactively where users contribute
content or the content depends upon the users or their actions. Websites may be provided for a
myriad of informative, entertainment, commercial, governmental, or non-governmental reasons

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for documents designed to
be displayed in a web browser. It can be assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS) and scripting languages such as JavaScript.
Web browsers receive HTML documents from a web server or from local storage and render the
documents into multimedia web pages. HTML describes the structure of a web
page semantically and originally included cues for the appearance of the document.
HTML elements are the building blocks of HTML pages. With HTML constructs, images and other
objects such as interactive forms may be embedded into the rendered page. HTML provides a
means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings,
paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. HTML elements are delineated by tags, written
using angle brackets. Tags such as <img /> and <input /> directly introduce content into the
page. Other tags such as <p> surround and provide information about document text and may
include other tags as sub-elements. Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to
interpret the content of the page.
HTML can embed programs written in a scripting language such as JavaScript, which affects the
behavior and content of web pages. Inclusion of CSS defines the look and layout of content.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), former maintainer of the HTML and current maintainer of
the CSS standards, has encouraged the use of CSS over explicit presentational HTML since 1997.[2]

What is HTML?
HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages.

 HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language

 HTML describes the structure of a Web page
 HTML consists of a series of elements
 HTML elements tell the browser how to display the content
 HTML elements are represented by tags
 HTML tags label pieces of content such as "heading", "paragraph", "table",
and so on
 Browsers do not display the HTML tags, but use them to render the
content of the page

Web browser
A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for accessing
information on the World Wide Web. When a user opens a particular website, the web browser
retrieves the necessary content from a web server then displays the resulting web page on the
user's device.
A web browser is not the same thing as a search engine, though the two are often confused.[1][2] For
a user, a search engine is just a website, such as Google Search, Bing, or DuckDuckGo, that stores
searchable data about other websites. However, to connect to a website's server and display its web
pages, a user must have a web browser installed.[3]
As of March 2019, more than 4.3 billion people use a browser, which is about 55% of the world's
population.[4] The three most popular browsers are Chrome, Firefox, and Safari

URL
A Uniform Resource Locator (URL), colloquially termed a web address,[1] is a reference to a web
resource that specifies its location on a computer network and a mechanism for retrieving it. A URL
is a specific type of Uniform Resource Identifier (URI),[2][3] although many people use the two terms
interchangeably.[4][a] URLs occur most commonly to reference web pages (http), but are also used for
file transfer (ftp), email (mailto), database access (JDBC), and many other applications.
Most web browsers display the URL of a web page above the page in an address bar. A typical URL
could have the form http://www.example.com/index.html , which indicates a protocol ( http ),
a hostname ( www.example.com ), and a file name

Home page
The definition of a home page is the main page of a website and the screen from which all other
screens on the website can be linked

Website
The definition of a website is a page or collection of pages on the World Wide Web that contains
specific information which was all provided by one person or entity and traces back to a
common Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

Search engine
The definition of a search engine is a computer program used to find specific websites on the
Internet or to find desired information on the Internet

Modem
Modem is defined as an abbreviation for modulator-demodulator, a device that makes it
possible for computers to communicate with one another without being directly connected to
each other.

micr - Computer Definition

(Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) The machine recognition of numeric data printed with
magnetically charged ink. It is used on bank checks and deposit slips. MICR readers detect the
characters and convert them into digital data. Although optical methods (OCR) became as
sophisticated as the early MICR technology, magnetic ink is still used. It serves as a deterrent to
fraud, because a photocopied check will not be printed with magnetic ink.
compact disc
A small optical disc on which data such as music, text, or graphic images is digitally encoded.

CDR
A call detail record (CDR) is a computer record created by a telephone exchange. It includes the
details of a phone call established through the telephone exchange, including an automated
record of the length of each telephone call.

DVD (an abbreviation of digital versatile disc)[7][8] is a digital optical disc storage format invented
and developed in 1995. The medium can store any kind of digital data and is widely used for
software and other computer files as well as video programs watched using DVD players. DVDs
offer higher storage capacity than compact discs while having the same dimensions.
Prerecorded DVDs are mass-produced using molding machines that physically stamp data onto the
DVD. Such discs are a form of DVD-ROM because data can only be read and not written or erased.
Blank recordable DVD discs (DVD-R and DVD+R) can be recorded once using a DVD recorder and
then function as a DVD-ROM. Rewritable DVDs (DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RAM) can be
recorded and erased many times.
DVDs are used in DVD-Video consumer digital video format and in DVD-Audio consumer digital
audio format as well as for authoring DVD discs written in a special AVCHD format to hold high
definition material (often in conjunction with AVCHD format camcorders). DVDs containing other
types of information may be referred to as DVD data discs
