Since computer folks tend to be immediate gratification people, let me bring you up to speed quickly and introduce you to the World Wide Web, the newest part of the Internet. Established less than a decade ago, the WEB was the first successful attempt to merge graphics, text, sound and video in one Internet transmission. It has been wildly successful, so much so that it's hard to find a TV ad for a national product that doesn't list a WEB address. For most people, the World Wide Web is the Internet.
Every site is made up of series of pages and each site is linked to other sites.
Just remember sites, pages and links , and you've learned most of the language you need to participate in the average over-coffee WEB conversation. Check out ABC's site. Notice the change at the end. National Public Radio is a nonprofit organization, so they get to use the org ending instead of com which is used for commercial entities. You access these sites through a piece of software called a WEB Browser.
