                             COMMONLY USED INTERNET TERMS

                  Let's learn some commonly used terms on the Internet:


                  WWW
                  The World Wide Web is a storehouse of information. It is the largest collection of electronic

                  World Wide Web.  Mosaic  was the  first successful graphical  web

                  The pages that make up the World Wide Web are known as web pages. A webpage is
                  created using a special language called HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language). A web
                  page can be accessed using a web browser.

                  hyperlinks. A hyperlink can be a text or a picture. The mouse takes the shape of a hand
