The Web has become an integral part of our lives and has revolutionized just about everything we do. In this chapter we present a brief historical overview of the evolution of the Web. After introducing important concepts and terminology, we discuss how we have transitioned from being consumers to also becoming producers of Web available content. We postulate that the Web provides a very rich platform for lifelong learning and offer suggestions of sites that can be used for that purpose. The chapter concludes with practical recommendations on browsers, browser extensions, Internet connection speed tests, and staying safe online.
