HTTP is called a  stateless protocol because each command is executed independently, without any knowledge of the commands that came before it.

Stateless means having no information about what occurred previously. Most modern applications maintain state, which means that they remember what you were doing last time you ran the application, and they remember all your configuration settings. This is extremely useful because it means you can mold the application to your working habits.
