Hyperlinks often appear in Web pages as colored, underlined text. You will also find hyperlinks hidden in buttons, pictures, and drawings on a Web page.

When you pass your cursor over a hidden hyperlink, the normal cursor arrow turns into a hand with the thumb and first finger extended.

Click on a hyperlink and discover where it sends you.

These links can move you from page to page, site to site, Web server to Web server—all over the world!

Web Servers

Information on the World Wide Web is stored on computers called Web servers. Web servers are like electronic libraries. Web servers are scattered throughout the world.

Surfing the Web

Using your computer to tour the World Wide Web is called surfing the Web. Sometimes you’ll just be looking to see what’s there. At other times, you’ll be looking for something specific.

Internet Address (URL)

A Web site has an Internet address that tells your computer how to find it. An Internet address is known as a Uniform Resource Locator, or URL. It identifies the location of a Web site just as your home address identifies where you live.
