Thanks to an intuitive interface and the widespread availability of NCSA Mosaic software for the Mac and PC, WWW is growing faster than any other Internet service.
Users typically come away from their first Web experience awestruck.
The key to the power of WWW is its user interaction model. While other tools such as FTP and Gopher display Internet computers as lists of files, the Web displays these computers as an integrated multimedia document similar to that produced by desktop publishing programs. Document words and graphics are actually composed of hypertext, which means that the physical file making up a Web document may reside anywhere on the Internet. In a typical session, users jump to dozens of sites around the world. For example, a WWW document describing sculpture might have a paragraph mentioning the type of marble used.
