Surfing the Internet

The Internet is a worldwide network of computer networks. Computer networks are two or more computers linked or connected together by cables or phone lines.

These computers are linked together to provide seemingly endless amounts of information for research, education, commerce, and entertainment purposes.

This information is stored on computers called Web servers. Web servers are set up exclusively for Internet users to access this information.

The graphic below illustrates how a Web site stored on a Web server in North America can be viewed all around the world.

The Internet

When you “surf” the Internet, you are accessing these millions of computers and reviewing the information that they have stored on their Web servers.

Internet Addresses (URLs)

Surfing the Internet is made possible by the addresses assigned to these linked computers. The Web address (also called the Uniform Resource Locator, or URL) allows other computers to view the information as Web pages. For example, the Compaq Web site address is www.compaq.com. When you access this address, the Compaq Web site and all associated Web pages can be viewed on your Internet PC.
