The app used on these devices is called a web browser. ==History== The World Wide Web (WWW) was created in 1990 by the British CERN physicist Tim Berners-Lee.
On 30 April 1993, CERN announced that the World Wide Web would be free to use for anyone, contributing to the immense growth of the Web.
As of early 2011, Facebook utilized 9 data centers with approximately 63,000 servers. In February 2009, Netcraft, an Internet monitoring company that has tracked Web growth since 1995, reported that there were 215,675,903 websites with domain names and content on them in 2009, compared to just 19,732 websites in August 1995.
Two examples are: Internet Archive, which since 1996 has preserved billions of old (and new) web pages; and Google Groups, which in early 2005 was archiving over 845,000,000 messages posted to Usenet news/discussion groups. |Internet Archive, Google Groups |- |Malware website |A site created specifically to attack visitors' computers on their first visit to a website by downloading a file (usually a trojan horse).

However, 85 percent of all websites are reportedly inactive and only 10-15 percent are in use. == Internet Users == In 2009 there were reportedly 1.73 billion users worldwide with Asia taking leading with 738,257,230 users.
It allows interactive content such as 3D animations, visualizations and video explainers to presented users in the most intuitive way. A 2010-era trend in websites called "responsive design" has given the best viewing experience as it provides a device based layout for users.

After reaching 1 billion websites in September 2014, a milestone confirmed by NetCraft in its October 2014 Web Server Survey and that Internet Live Stats was the first to announce—as attested by this tweet from the inventor of the World Wide Web himself, Tim Berners-Lee—the number of websites in the world have subsequently declined, reverting to a level below 1 billion.
The number of websites continued growing to over 1 billion by March 2016 and has continued growing since.
Netcraft Web Server Survey in January 2020 reported that there are 1,295,973,827 websites and in April 2021 reported that there are 1,212,139,815 sites across 10,939,637 web facing computers, and 264,469,666 unique domains.
Also, China has more internet users than any other country in the world with over 934 million monthly users as at 2020.
In 2020, Facebook, a social networking site founded by Mark Zuckerberg recorded over 2.7 billion monthly active users.
