About the Web
What exactly is the World Wide Web?
The World Wide Web is a global, open, and free information system that runs on the Internet. Originally designed and built by Humans.
Here's a very simple explanation from BBC Bitesize and a brief history from the World Wide Web Foundation.
For a slightly more in-depth read, (and beware the rabbit hole) see: World Wide Web according to Wikipedia.
That's great, but if the Web is 37 years old, is it still relevant?
Absolutely, we all use it every day although increasingly
you might not even realise it. Every time you
google
something you are using the Web.
However, in 2026 there is concern that computer-generated content
is gradually flooding the World Wide Web,
smothering the Human factor, and
effectively killing the Internet.
Save the Human Web!
