In Business with the HP Brio PC
Communicating with Others
A view of the Internet that can work quite well is of a worldwide network (a
world
wide web
) of computers that have shared files on them. You can read a file — or
web page
— on someone else’s computer. Each of these pages can have
links
— like
a sort of
go to
button — that send you to another page. This new page can be on the
same computer, or on one in a totally different part of the world. You are
surfing
if
you are following link after link after link! You can also copy — or
download
— files
from people’s pages. Software vendors, for example, often have the latest updates or
the newest drivers on their web site (a collection of common pages, linked to each
other).
Use the Internet wisely; otherwise you might find yourself wasting a lot of time on it
— getting side-tracked by following too many links, for example!
If you regard the Internet as essentially the world’s biggest library, jam-packed with
information that is growing by the second, you’re on the right track; on the one hand
it’s an invaluable source of information, but you can’t afford to spend all day in it if
you’ve got a business to run!
Why not check out the HP Brio PC Internet site now! You’ll find information on
•
the latest drivers
