Web, Web Page, Web Site
The World Wide Web is the most outgoing and accessible incarnation
of the Internet. The Web was born with the invention of the first
browser, which is software that reads documents written using php,
aka Web pages. Before browsers, all you saw over the Internet were
text-based pages, ugly step-sisters to Web pages, which include
razzle-dazzle stuff like images, sound, animation, formatted text,
and hyperlinks. Clicking on a hyperlink loads another Web page,
and a collection of Web pages, linked and living together under
the same roof (domain name), are a Web site. What you're looking
at now is a Web page that's part of the entire HotWired Web
site.
