Before the Internet, we used to consume most information in a linear fashion

But what really makes the Web so special lies in its very name.Prior to the Web,we used to consume most information in a linear fashion.In a book or newspaper article,each sentence was read from beginning to end,page by page,in a straight line until you reached the end.But that isn't how our brains actually work.Each of our thoughts is linked to other thoughts,memories, and emotions in a loose interconnected network, like a web.Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the World Wide Web,understood that we needed a way to organize information that mirrored this natural arrangement.And the Web accomplishes this through hyperlinks.
