For someone in Cambridge to look at information on a computer at, for example, Imperial College over the World Wide Web, Imperial would have to have a server, and the person in Cambridge would need a browser. A server is the software that allows anyone with a browser to look at text and graphics on your computer. The browser we have here is called Netscape. Netscape is a graphical browser - it allows you to view text and pictures. Other graphical browsers are Mosaic and Cello.
Lynx is an older browser which only has text capability.
HotJava is a newer browser which permits animation and interactivity. The World Wide Web may also be referred to as the Web, or W3 or WWW hypertext links between documents. They then index the information they find at each of these servers and make the indexes available for searching. Navigation Known URLs if the URL is known, simply type it in Hypertext links follow hypertext links by clicking on hotwords to go to another location Search engines search through indexes Bookmarks once a site has been visited, you can put its URL into a bookmark so that you can return there easily.
