The document traces the evolution of the world wide web from its early beginnings. It discusses how the web started in the 1980s as a way to share scientific information but was plain text-based and boring. The development of graphical web browsers in the early 1990s made the web more visual and popular. This led to explosive growth, with over 25 sites by 1992. Later innovations such as broadband, web applications, user-generated content and social media transformed the web into the interactive medium it is today. The document also briefly mentions potential future directions for the web such as Web 3.0 with new technological capabilities.

5. Before the world wide web internet only provided
screens full of text. It was a good way to exchange
information.
But it was boring

6. Companies like
Compuserve and
AOL thought to
develop www to
make it more
aesthetic.
But it didn’t look good.

Particle Physics) began working
on WWW
• Developed the Web as a means
of sharing scientific information

8. It seems that the World Wide Web saved the net. Not only
did it change its appearance, it made it possible for
pictures and sound to be displayed and exchanged.

10.  The world wide web is a sophisticated system for universal
information capture and delivery
 The world wide web consortium (W3C) definition of the
web: "The World Wide Web is the universe of network-
accessible information, an embodiment of human
knowledge"

Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol is a type request and
send requested file in packets(Data) World Wide Web
uses HTTP Servers, better known as web server

12.  By 1991 browser and web
server software was available,
and
 by 1992 a few preliminary
sites existed in places like
University of Illinois, where
Mark Andreesen became
involved.
 By the end of 1992,
there were about 26
sites.

21.  Next up we will look towards what might be
the future of the world wide web.
 Which as you may have guessed is dubbed
Web 3.0
Informatics Institute of Technology 21

22.  The simplest way to describe web 3.0 would
be to state that it is the next evolutionary
step of the world wide web.
Informatics Institute of Technology 22

23.  You have seen what the world wide web may
become.
 But to enable this transformation
there will have to be a few
more technological
breakthroughs which will be need to support
the infrastructure of the emerging Web 3.0
Informatics Institute of Technology 23

24.  Started as a way for scientific data sharing.
 It has progress from a static data display to an interactive
medium and it has created it’s own industry.
 It is expected to expand in scope and accelerate the
development of technology within due time…
