Vocabulary
The word "Internet" describes the network that started in 1983. The Internet connects computers from around the world for people to share information. People can play games, send e-mails, find information and do shopping on the Net.
The World Wide Web (www) is the part of the Internet that lets you see information using words, pictures, colors and sounds. Information on the Web is listed on websites. To get to the website you want, you need to use the correct Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or address.
What do you need to do if you want to surf the Internet? If you know the address, just type it into the box on the screen. If you don't know the address, go to a popular search engine like Google. You just need to type in some information about what you want to find. Then you will get a list of sites. Simply choose the site that has the information you want.
But watch out when you use information from the Internet. Anyone can create a website, so you cannot always be sure the information is correct. An official website produced by a big company or organization may be more useful than a site created by someone on personal purpose. It is often best to use more than one source to make sure the information is correct.
