Browsing the World Wide Web
The World Wide Web, or simply, the web, is a massive storehouse of information that resides on computers, called web servers, located all over the world. Information is presented on web pages that you download to your computer using a web browser program, such as the OS X Safari application. Each web page can combine text with images, sounds, music, and even videos to present information on a particular subject. The web consists of billions of pages covering almost every imaginable topic. A website is a collection of web pages associated with a particular person or organization. If your Mac is connected to the Internet, you can use the Safari browser to navigate, or surf, websites.
