| Once you're set up, using the internet is very simple. In the broad sense, you only do one thing on the internet - Find and look at web pages. It's from such web pages that everything else is done like shopping for and buying items sold on the internet, finding old friends and relatives, getting weather reports for any place in the world, participating in online chats, etc. By the way, online simply means that you and those you are participating with are on the internet when the activity is performed. |
How Browsers Work
Browsers can be thought of as being the framework for internet web pages. The web pages come and go as the user browses many web pages, but the browser stays the same for each web page. In the following picture, I have removed the web page so you can see the browser frame with the web page removed. |

Notice the scroll bars on the browser. They are part of the browser, not the web page. They automatically appear when the web
page is too big to be viewed all at once. They scroll when dragged by the mouse or when the direction tabs are successively clicked with the mouse. | They can also be scrolled by successively tapping the up or down arrow
keys on your keyboard, after one click on the bar with the mouse.
The above picture is the Microsoft browser called Internet Explorer. There are many browsers available.
Some are free and others are not free. Internet Explorer is free.
