Before CSS, all tags had some kind of default styling. See the default margin that we have above and below these paragraph tags?
By default, the body used a serif font. Links were underlined and blue if unvisited and purple once visited. A long time ago in in a galaxy far away, the default body background color was gray/grey. And we have video proof as well.
With CSS we wanted some tags that had no pre-existing style. So the span tag was invented as the new "inline" tag with no styling.
Lets move on to ⇒ more ways to select text to style . And go back to using a p tag so we get a little white space between paragraphs.
