9. HTML makes internet popular
WWW
Internet
HTML makes internet popular
Without HTML
Webpages will appear dull or even messy looking.
The internet might just be networking place for scientists and researchers to share information, presented in text that are foreign to the general public.
A infrastructure filled with details and knowledge, but it won’t entice people to use it.
With HTML
Enhance presentation of webpages on the internet.
Visually appealing creates interest and makes learning easy
User-friendly
Everyone can create a webpage.
