                               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
                     information which is stored in the form of websites. The web pages on the World Wide

                     Web are developed using a special language called HTML (Hypertext Markup Language).

                     WEB BROWSER

                     A  web browser is  a  software  that  lets  you  access
                     the pages on the World Wide Web. Mosaic was the

                     first successful graphical web browser developed by
                     Marc  Andreessen  and  Eric  Bina  released  in  1993.          Microsoft      Google       Mozilla
                     Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox                 Edge         Chrome       Firefox
                     are the commonly used web browser.

                     WEB PAGE

                     The pages that make up the World Wide Web are known as web pages. A web page is

                     created using a special language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language). A web
                     page can be accessed using a web browser.

                         PURE        The first web page went live on August 6, 1991. It was dedicated to provide information
                         FACT        on the World Wide Web project and was made by Tim Berners-Lee.

                     HYPERLINK

                     A web page may contain links to other web pages or places. These links are known as
                     hyperlinks. A hyperlink can be a text or a picture. The mouse takes the shape of a hand
                     when we hover it over a hyperlink. When a hyperlink is clicked, the part that it is linked to
                     opens in the browser window.

                                                                                                     More on Internet  73
