Crash Course Computer Science #30: World Wide Web

Curated by ACT

This course discusses the World Wide Web - not to be confused with the Internet, which is the underlying plumbing for the web as well as other networks. The WWW is built on the foundation of simply linking pages to other pages with hyperlinks, but it is this massive interconnectedness that makes it so powerful. But before the web could become a thing, Tim Berners-Lee would need to invent the web browser at CERN, and search engines would need to be created to navigate these massive directories of information. By the mid-1990's, Yahoo and Google and huge websites like eBay and Amazon, formed the web we know today. It also discusses the implications of Net Neutrality, and its potential to shape the Internet's future.
