Information ranging from sports to television to medical research are all on the Web.
And it is growing daily in an exponential manner. The WWW is a system for navigating around the Internet, using a graphical interface.

Beautiful graphics, sound, even video are all possible on the Web. Using the Internet before the Web was like using an IBM PC circa 1984.
