The web was created to make it easier for physics researchers to share data, link to other data, and present it in a uniform way. It is also partly a result of just what a few people thought was fun and interesting to work on.
You may find it very handy to watch The Virtual Revolution, by the BBC. You can find all episodes on YouTube. It talks about the creation of the World Wide Web.
The World Wide Web could be said to have originated in England, thanks to a relatively unknown chap named Tim Berners-Lee. A software consultant at the European organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), Berners-Lee presented his supervisor with a proposal in 1989 outlining ideas for an electronic document exchange programme. This proposal would enable scientific papers to be read on a variety of otherwise incompatible computer systems. Initially, his superiors were not interested, but Berners-Lee persisted. When he was able to achieve the first successful communication between an HTTP client and a server using the internet (which is actually different to the world wide web) on 25 December 1990 that he finally gained the interest, and the support, to see his proposal put into action.
Scientists and Teachers at Universities needed to share information (especially about experiments and findings) and the web was created for them to easily create and view pages about each others findings. Worldwide post was too slow, describing a chart over the phone is slow and boring, and video relies on really fast expensive equipment.

The World Wide Web is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view Web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them using hyperlinks. Using concepts from earlier hypertext systems, English physicist Tim Berners-Lee, now the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, wrote a proposal in March 1989 for what would eventually become the World Wide Web.
The Internet has allowed social networking and a faster search engine so we don't have to use books. Over the century the Internet has rapidly evolved with many networking sites, but also spam and false advertisement. So there is dispute of cons and pros.
Pressumably, CERN needed a way to connect different documents.
Simply because it is all across the world and can access it world-wide.
to help people in the world connect to each other
The world wide web was invented at CERN in Geneva, which is in Switzerland. Computers were not invented in Switzerland.
Tim Berners-Lee invented the (World Wide Web) in 1989
www = world wide web (ie. www.wiki.com, www means it is on the world wide web, wiki being the provider of the web site, and com to show it is a commercial website)
Hypertext Transfer Protocol software is used for world wide web
URLs existed before the World Wide Web on the Internet.

No. Although they did "invent" the World Wide Web...
