a window (to|into|on|onto) the world
something, such as a book, move clip, etc., that provides one with information about a variety of people, places, events, or things that one cannot physically interact with or experience
The idiom "a window to the world" likely originated from the literal meaning of a window as an opening in a wall that allows you to see outside. It has been used metaphorically to describe various means of gaining insight, knowledge, or a broader perspective on the world. This expression is used to refer to something that provides you with a view, insight, or understanding of the world at large. It can describe a physical window with a scenic view, but it is often used in a broader sense to talk about sources of information, experiences, or opportunities that broaden one's horizons.
