Use of this address is the only means by which communication between computers on the Internet can be initiated. The World Wide Web is a system for initiating communications on the Internet. The World Wide Web simplifies Internet communication by permitting users to jump from computer to computer by simply clicking with a mouse on an image representing the unique address of the computer the user is seeking. Hypertext links speed up the process of contacting another computer and eliminates the error prone process of typing instructions and unfamiliar computer addresses. However, the World Wide Web does not alter the fundamental aspects of communication over the Internet.
Communication is initiated and conducted according to precise sequences and rules.
In order to attempt communication, a user must contact a target computer, using its unique address. For communication to take place the target computer must respond and invite further contact. If the target computer does not respond or invite further contact, communication will occur.
