There is a lot of information, but it's hard to find. The Web makes it easier. Having the Web is like taking that huge pile of books, putting them in order, and putting up some nice signs that will tell you exactly where to go. That way, you can go right to the books about George Washington without wasting time. The Web does this by creating links .
Links are shortcuts to information.
They are usually blue and underlined, and if you click on them, they can take you to a new place very quickly. Netscape is a browser . A browser helps you to understand the information your computer finds for you on the World Wide Web. If you visit Russia, and you don't know how to speak Russian, you will need a translator to help you understand the information around you. A browser is like a translator, but it helps you understand and use information from the Web.
