The World Wide Web is now popular and is widely used all over the world. However, the history of the Web is not long. Tim Berners-Lee invented WWW in March 1989 at CERN [1]. It was first developed as a common presentation method for physicists from around the world to share data [2]. He introduced the HTTP protocol and also the HTML file format for hyper-text transferring and presentation [3, 4]. The first Website on the Web was http://info.cern.ch/. At first there were only several Websites, but now there are a lot of them. Nowadays people around the world surf on the Internet to visit those Websites every day.
Why did the Web develop so quickly? I think it is mainly because of people’s high information demand. The Web provides a method using which people can share information on a global scale. As the invention and development of Web 2.0, I think the information sharing could be more convenient and the Web will be hotter than ever before.
