The initial purpose of the Web was to use networked hypertext to facilitate communication among its members, who were located in several countries. Word was soon spread beyond CERN, and a rapid growth in the number of both developers and users ensued. In addition to hypertext, the Web began to incorporate graphics, video, and sound. In recent years, the use of the Web has reached global proportions. Almost every protocol type available on the Internet is accessible on the Web.
Internet protocols are sets of rules that allow for intermachine communication on the Internet.
Transmits hyptertext over networks. The World Wide Web provides a single interface for accessing all these protocols. This creates a convenient and user-friendly environment. It is no longer necessary to be conversant in these protocols within separate command-level environments. The Web gathers together these protocols into a single system.
