The World Wide Web is a portion of the Internet. Actually it's the major thoroughfare. Traveling the web is very similar to driving on a highway without a roadmap. You can drive around lost, or you can sightsee through many interesting things and visit fascinating places. The web is viewed through software known as Web Browsers such as Netscape and Internet Explorer.
Web pages can include text, images, sound and movies.
Web Browsers Web browsers are software that allows you to view hypertext documents on the World Wide Web. Two of the most popular Web Browsers are Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. They are so similar to each other, that learning one you will invariably learn the other. If you consider the World Wide Web to be that endless road of information, then your browser is your travel vehicle. The Navigation buttons and bars are like the dashboard of your car as you cruise the Web.
