The Internet is a collection of information stored in computers physically located throughout the world. You'll bring one webpage to your computer screen, discover its contents, and have the option of bringing more pages of information. The webpages in these websites are linked together as a chain of information that you can explore at your own pace. A Web browser is used to 'explore' or 'surf' the Web. The two most commonly-used browsers are Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Every browser is different, but the instructions that follow are generic and apply to most browsers.
If the instructions don't apply to the browser you are using click on Help in the Menu Bar located at the top of the screen for the specific instructions you may need. The icon on the right represents the section you viewing, and clicking it will always bring you back to the homepage of that section. Help pages listed on the toolbar at left have no icon on the right. One of the strengths of internet browsing is that you have some control over how information is displayed. If the text on the screen is too small, you can increase the size.
