The Internet
? Short for Web Browser, it is the tool (program) that allows you to surf the web. The most popular Web Browsers right now are Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer.
? A Web browser is a software application that is used to view Web pages. Most browsers can also be used to send and receive email, connect to Web based free E Mail services, read newsgroups, and Chat.
? Web pages found through browsers include text, graphics, sound and video. These pages, written in the hyper-text markup language, have "links" that allow the user to quickly move from one document to another...even when the documents are stored in different computers.
? These browsers can be downloaded over the Internet for free.
? Browsers are fully customizable, allowing the option of changing the text size, font, and the "home" or "startup" page.
