The World Wide Web is just PART of the entire Internet. In particular, the Web (or WWW) is the part of the Internet where information is presented in a highly visual, often multimedia, format
Information on the World Wide Web is presented in pages. A Web page is like a page in a book made up of text and pictures (also called graphics). A Web page differs from a book page, however, in that it can include other elements, such as audio and video, and links to other Web pages.
It is this linking to other Web pages that makes the Web such a dynamic way to present information. A link on a Web page can point to another Web page from the same author, or to a page on another Web sire. Most link are included as part of a Web page's text and are called hypertext links. (If a link is a part of graphic, it's call a graphic link.) Links are usually in a different color than the rest of the text, and are often underlined. Links are easy to use, Just position your cursor over ta link a notice how the cursor changes shape form the normal arrow to a pointing hand. When the cursor is over the link, click your mouse button; your Web browser will automatically take you to the linked page.
Web page reside at a Web site. a Web side is nothing more than a collections of Web pages (each in its own individual computer file) residing on a host computer. the host computer is connected full-time to the Internet so that you can access the site-and its Web pages-anytime you access the Internet. the main page at serves as "opening screen" that provides a brief overview and a sort of menu of everything you can find at that site. The address of a Web page is called a URL, which stands for Uniform Resource Locator.
Fortunately, you don't need to know what an URL is to access a Web page. All you have to do is enter the URL for a Web page directly in to your browser's Location box, and then press the Enter key. This loads the Web pages that resides at the address you entered into your main browser window
I find that cruising the Web is like browsing through an encyclopedia. Invariably when I'm reading one article in an Encyclopedia, I find a reference to a related article that interests me. When I turn to the new article, I find a reference to another article...and, before I know it, I have all twenty-four volumes open in front of me. when you're n the Web, it's the same sort of experience. In the course of a single session, it's not unusual to discover that you've visited more than a dozen different sites-and still have a lots of interesting places to go!
Your cruise the Web using a piece of software called a Web browser. The two most popular browsers are Netscape Navigator (part of the Netscape Communicator suite of Internet products) and Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera of which work in similar fashion.
