Hyperlinks
One Web page is connected to another with a hyperlink. If you have been reading these notes over the Web, you have been linking between Web pages by using hyperlinks.
A Web browser usually displays a hyperlink in a distinguishing color (usually blue). When you click on it, the browser asks the operating system to get a particular Web page from another computer connected to the Internet.
The Web page to get is specified with a uniform resource locator (URL). A URL specifies the exact computer (among all the Internet computers in the world) and the exact Web page on that computer.
To see some examples of URLs, keep watching the box at the top of your browser labeled "Address".
