THE WEB IS GRAPHICAL AND EASY TO NAVIGATE

THE WEB IS GRAPHICAL AND EASY TO NAVIGATE

In the early days, using the internet involved simple text-only applications. You had to navigate the internet’s various services using command-line programs (think DOS) and arcane tools. Although plenty of information was available on the net, it wasn’t  necessary-ily  pretty  to look  at or easy to find.

Then along came the first graphical web browser: mosaic. It paved the way for the web to display both text and graphics in full color on the same page.  The ability to create complex, attractive pages rivaling those founds in books, magazines, and new papers propelled the popularity of the web. These days, the web offers such a wide degree of capabilities that people are writing web applications that replace desktop applications.

A browser is used to view and navigate web pages and other information on the world wide web. Currently, the most widely used  browser is Microsoft internet explorer, which is built into Microsoft windows.
