Workshop
Quiz
- Define the terms Internet, Web page, and World Wide Web.
- How many files would you need to store on your computer to make a Web page with some text and two images on it?
- Can you create Web pages with Microsoft Word or WordPerfect?
Answers
-
The Internet is the "network of networks" that connects millions of computers around the globe.
A Web page is a text document that uses commands in a special language called HTML to add formatting, graphics and other media, and links to other pages.
The World Wide Web is a collective name for all the Web pages on the Internet.
- At least three files: one for the text (which includes the HTML commands), and one for each graphics image. In some cases, you might need more files to add a background pattern, sound, or interactive features to the page.
- Yes, or with any other word processor on any computer (as long as the word processor will save plain text or ASCII files).
