transactions. All this activity is possible because tens of .thousands of networks are

connected to the Internet and exchange information in the same basic ways.

2. The World Wide Web (WWW) is a part of the Internet. But it’s not a

collection of networks. Rather, it is ' information that is connected or linked together

like a web. You access this information through one interface or tool called a Web

browser. The number of resources and services that are part of the World Wide Web

is growing extremely fast. In 1996 there were more than 20 million users of the

WWW, and more than half the information that is transferred across the Internet is

accessed through the WWW.

3. By using a computer terminal (hardware) connected to a network that is a

part of the Internet» and by using a programme (software) to browse or retrieve

information that is a part of the World Wide Web, the people connected to the

Internet and World Wide Web through the local providers have access to a variety of

information. Each browser provides a graphical interface! You move from place to

place, from site to site on the Web by using a mouse to click on a portion of text, icon

or region of a map. These items are called hyperlinks or links. Each link you select

represents a document, an image, a video clip or an audio file somewhere on the

Internet.

4. The user doesn't need to know where it is, the browser follows the link. All

sorts of things are available on the WWW. One can use Internet for recreational

purposes. Many TV and radio stations broadcast live on the WWW. Essentially, if

something can be put into digital format and stored in a computer, then it's available

on the WWW. You can even visit museums, gardens and cities throughout the world,

learn foreign languages and meet new friends. And, of course, you can play computer

games through WWW, competing with partners from other countries and continents.

Just a little bit of exploring the World Wide Web will show you what a lot of use and

fun it is.
