Though it may not seem so when you first see a raw web page, the language it is written in, HTML, is designed to be easily read by humans, as well as computers. It was developed to make sharing information easy, and to make it easy to write documents that would be displayed on many types of computer. HTML can be interpreted at different levels, even in text-only mode (try turning off the image-loading in your browser - you'll be surprised at how much faster everything loads, and how much information is preserved!). Now with devices such as mobile phones having Internet capabilities, the accessibility of web information is even more important.
