Veebimaailmaga

Veebimaailmaga, also known as the "World Wide Web" in English, is a global information space where documents and other web resources are identified by Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), interlinked by hypertext, and accessible via the Internet. It was invented by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 while working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. The web allows users to access and share information, communicate, and conduct transactions through web pages, which are documents that can include text, images, videos, and other multimedia content.

The web operates on a client-server model, where web browsers (clients) request web pages from web servers, which then deliver the requested content. The web uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) for communication between clients and servers. Web pages are written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), which defines the structure and content of a web page, and can be styled using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and made interactive using JavaScript.

The web has revolutionized the way information is accessed and shared, enabling the creation of vast online communities, e-commerce platforms, and social media networks. It has also facilitated the growth of digital economies and the rise of new industries, such as web development, digital marketing, and online education.

The web's decentralized nature and open standards have contributed to its widespread adoption and success. However, it has also raised concerns about privacy, security, and the digital divide, as not everyone has equal access to the web and its benefits. Efforts are ongoing to address these challenges and ensure that the web remains a inclusive and accessible platform for all.
