Using the World Wide Web

The World Wide Web is a user-friendly multimedia window to the Internet
that gives you easy access to millions of sources of information.
The information you access on the Internet appears in Web pages. A group
of related Web pages is called a Web site. You can access Web sites to shop,
track investments, read the news, download programs, and much more.
You can travel through a Web site or visit other Web sites by clicking areas
on the Web page called links, or hyperlinks. A link can be colored text
(sometimes underlined), a picture, or an animated image. You can identify a
link by moving the mouse pointer over it. If the pointer changes to a hand,
the item is a link.
