• Tasks stored in a database

• Tasks transmitted over the internet

What is the World Wide Web?

• A collection of hardware, software, and peripherals working together to perform computing tasks.

• An information system consisting of interlinked hypertext documents accessible via the internet.

• A computing paradigm where tasks are performed one after another in a single sequence or thread.

• A computing model where tasks are spread across multiple computers or devices in a network.
