The Internet is composed of different smaller computer networks from all over the world. The World Wide Web uses the Internet on which to store and move Web pages, files and other information.
Almost everything on the World Wide Web is represented to you as a hypertext object in HTML format (i.e. a Web page). Web pages also often contain multimedia like graphics, sounds, animations and video. Web pages that use hypertext contain hyperlinks (or links), which is what connects or 'links' the Web together. Links can be words or images. When you click a link with your mouse, you are taken to another Web page or another place on the same Web page. Your browser will usually display a hyperlink using a different color.
Links are also usually underlined. Your browser will display hyperlinks as follows:

Click the link. You may also notice that the link changes color once you have clicked it, which tells you that you have already been to the Web page or location that it links to. Sometimes images are also used as links. One of the images below is a link. Move your mouse cursor over each image to find out which one is a link, and then click that image.
