USING URLs
You have learnt in the previous class that every Web page has a unique address,
called a Uniform Resource Locator, or URL. URLs help you to navigate the web.
When you provide a URL to the browser, the browser finds that URL’s Web page
and then transfers the Web page to your PC. The content of the web page then
appears in the Web browser window. You can specify a URL in several ways, but
two methods are commonly used. Let us discuss about them.
Using Address Bar
Type the URL in the browser’s Address bar and press the Enter key from the
keyboard.
Suppose, you want to visit the Google. To do this, you can type www.google.com
in the Address bar and then press Enter key. The home page of Google opens.
Using Hyperlink
A hyperlink is simply a part of the Web page that is linked to a URL. A hyperlink
can appear as text, an image, or a navigational tool such as a button or an arrow.
You can click a hyperlink and jump from your present location to the URL specified
by the hyperlink. Hyperlinked text usually looks different from normal text on a
Web page. It is often underlined, but can be formatted in a number of ways.
E-MAIL
An Electronic mail or e-mail can be defined as the process of exchanging messages
electronically through a communication network by using computer. Apart from
messages, we can share documents, multimedia files and program files by using
e-mail. We can use the e-mail service by registering ourselves with any of the
e-mail service providers such as gmail, yahoo mail, hotmail, etc.
