World Wide Web (WWW)
The newest and increasingly the most popular service on the Internet, WWW is a hypertext information system capable of
presenting multimedia information to those with a direct connection to the Internet. It requires SL/IP, PPP, or some other
dedicated Internet connection and browser software (like Mosaic or Netscape). Users without such a dedicated connection, but
who have an online account, can use Lynx, a nongraphical, text-based browser.
