World Wide Web Surfing
When we move from one Website/ Web page to another on WWW, it is known as surfing. It is the process of searching for information on the WWW. Once we are connected to the Internet, we can surf the Internet by using software called Internet browser. Two commonly used Internet browsers are Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. (See Figure 5.6.12)
To surf on the Internet, perform the following steps:
1. Enter the name/address of the website on the address bar.
2. Click GO or press Enter. You will get the Homepage of the Website on the screen. (See Figure 5.6.13)
