Internet Skills: Exercise 1
The Internet is a system for sharing large amounts of information quickly.
When a computer is connected to the Internet, it is connected to millions of
other computers across the world. People let others look at some of the
information on their computers by making websites. When you look at a
website, you can click on links to move from one page of information to
another.
In this exercise, you will practice opening websites, clicking on links, and
understanding how one webpage is connected to another.
