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.
