Once you've set up your computer, you'll probably want to get internet access. Before you can access the internet, there are three things that you need: internet service, a modem, and a web browser.
It all depends on where you live and how much speed you need. Internet Service Providers usually offer different levels of speed based on your needs.
If you're mainly using the internet for e-mail and social networking, a slower connection might be all you need,
if you want to download a lot of music or watch streaming movies, you'll want a faster connection. You'll need to do some research to find out what the options are in your area.
A web browser is use to access the World Wide Web. The browser’s main job is to display web pages. It also let you create Bookmarks (favorites) for sites which you can easily find them again later.
Common Web Browsers: Chrome and Internet Explorer are the most popular web browsers. Other browsers include Firefox, Safari, and Opera. Each one has its own look and feel, but they have the same goal.
browsers use a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Some devices such as mobile phones use different types of GUIs, such as touchscreens. However, many of the principles remain the same.
Browser Basics
Address Bar: Browsers have an address bar that shows the web address (also called a URL) of the page you are on. To go to a different page, you can type an address in the address bar and then press Enter (or Return).
