Browser

Browser - an aplication used to access the world wide web. Here are some examples I use chrome and firefox.

World Wide Web

The world wide connects to the internet and allows us to access different web sites. It allows documents to be connected to other documents through hyperlinks. The world wide web is much like the internet but is larger.

Web host
