Exercise the power of the World Wide Web

The World Wide Web is a hypertext-based, platform-independent means of displaying text, graphic, audio, and video information over the Internet. Twenty million people now use the Internet, and the number of World Wide Web sites is well over one million and growing rapidly. Web sites are available all over the world, although most are located in the United States. Importantly, the Web´s design is consistent with many of our information gathering instincts. It encourages browsing and experimentation and allows each person at computer sites around the world to design unique ways to present and use information. The author discusses its practical applications, explains how hypertext works, and discusses how it is can be used by power utilities. Reserving a password and gaining access to the World Wide Web are also discussed
