The Internet was growing as more and more networks were being joined together. However it was only being used by the military and academics due to it's compliexity.
In 1990 an Englishman known as Dr Tim Berners-Lee developed a simple document formatting language called 'HTML' which enabled documents to be stored on the fledgling Internet and to link to other documents using 'Hyperlinks'. He also developed an application to read these documents called a 'Browser'.
Due to the simplicity and huge scope of these inventions there are billions of websites all around the World written by anybody with a connection to the Internet.
The linking of these websites to other websites means there is a web of links spanning the globe. This is known as the World Wide Web.
