The document discusses the history and development of the World Wide Web including: - The goals of the W3C to make the social and knowledge sharing benefits of the web available to all people globally. - Common issues regarding appropriate usage such as following laws, copyright, censorship, and age restrictions. - Technical aspects of implementing text, graphics, video, audio and other multimedia on the web along with related file formats and protocols.

2. WWW – History and Developmentappropriate usagehttp://www.w3.org/“The social value of the Web is that it enables human communication, commerce, and opportunities to share knowledge. One of W3C's primary goals is to make these benefits available to all people, whatever their hardware, software, network infrastructure, native language, culture, geographical location, or physical or mental ability.”“W3C's vision for the Web involves participation, sharing knowledge, and thereby building trust on a global scale.”

10. WWWCSS – Cascading Style Sheetsis a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (that is, the look and formatting) of a document written in a mark-up language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML.CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a similar mark-up language) from document presentation, including elements such as the layout, colours, and fonts. This separation can improve content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce complexity and repetition in the structural content (such as by allowing for tableless web design). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Css

11. WWW Hyperlinkis a reference to a document that the reader can directly follow, or that is followed automatically. The reference points to a whole document or to a specific element within a document. Hypertext is text with hyperlinks. Scroll Bar and Buttons

13. A defined area of the screen, usually designed to look like a pushbutton, which, when clicked with a mouse, will perform a given action, usually represented by an Icon on the button face.WWWDrop Down ListAnimated TextScrollingDistorting

14. WWW.PDF FilesPortable Document Format (PDF) is a file format created by Adobe Systems in 1993 for document exchange. PDF is used for representing two-dimensional documents in a manner independent of the application software, hardware, and operating system. Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout 2D document that includes the text, fonts, images, and 2D vector graphics which compose the documents.

16. WWWProgressive loading of images: interlaced GIFis a GIF image that seems to arrive on your display like an image coming through a slowly-opening Venetian blind. A fuzzy outline of an image is gradually replaced by seven successive waves of bit streams that fill in the missing lines until the image arrives at its full resolution. Among the advantages for the viewer using 14.4 Kbps and 28.8 Kbps modems are that the wait time for an image seems less and the viewer can sometimes get enough information about the image to decide to click on it or move elsewhere. For users with faster connections, there is little difference in effect between an interlaced GIF and a non-interlaced GIF.progressive JPEGare similar to Interlaced Gifs and are displayed in a browser window in a series of passes. First a 'blurred' image is shown, then as more information flows in, the clarity increasesThough interlaced Gifs are larger than normal Gif images, progressiveJpgs are slightly smaller than plain jpg files. The only disadvantage in using progressive JPGs is that they require more processing power by the client machine and the browser. However, in these days of high computing power and continued improvements in browser software, this aspect can be safely ignored.
