5.7.2 The World Wide Web
The World Wide Web (or ‘Web’) is a subset of the Internet —a collection of interlinked
documents (located on computers connected to the Internet) that work together using a
specific Internet protocol called Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The World Wide Web
offers information as text, images, audio, or video to be referenced from anywhere in the
world. Special programs called Web browsers are specifically designed to work with HTTP.
They make it easier to connect to a particular network address.
5.7.3 ISP’S (Internet Service Providers)
To connect a computer directly to the Internet, many people and businesses use an Internet
Service Provider (ISP). An ISP is a company that has the equipment and the

Internet by using a telephone and modem or through other higher-speed communication
methods such as Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), cable, and satellite links.
5.7.4 Connecting to the Internet
To connect to the Internet, you need the following:
1. A modem and telephone line, or a LAN connection

Once you have established an ISP account, you can connect to the Internet. To do this follow
these steps:

connecting to a modem, see “Connecting the modem” on page 49.
2. Start your Web browser. Have your modem dial the ISP’s telephone number, and
establish a connection with the ISP’s computer. If you are using your computer at the office,
then you probably connect to the Internet through your company’s network.
