Browsers, cookies, pages, sites, blogs. There are a lot of terms used when surfing the Internet. How do you know what these things are? Where should I go to learn more?

Well, we cannot answer all your questions on this Web page, but we will try to answer a few. We will also address a few things you may not have thought about.

You can also visit the Skill Center to learn more about the Internet and/or computers.

 

Links

You will come across words that are underlined and change colors when you roll your mouse over the text. These are links to other Web pages and on this page some of them will lead to an online encyclopedia that will define the terms for you.

 

Browsers

A web browser is a software application that enables a user to display and interact with text, images, and other information typically located on a web page at a website on the World Wide Web or a local area network. Text and images on a web page can contain hyperlinks to other web pages at the same or different websites. Web browsers allow a user to quickly and easily access information provided on many web pages at many websites by traversing these links.

It is good idea to download the latest version of your Web browser. Here are a few helpful links.

Internet Explorer 7 provides security through a robust new architecture, security features that help defend against malicious software (also known as malware), and new ways to better protect against the theft of personal data from fraudulent websites, a practice known as phishing.
