  10. Uniform Resource Locator(URL) • Specifies not only the location but also the protocol • http://www.google.com • https://www.paypal.com

  11. ICANN - icann.org • Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers • To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer -- a name or a number. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. • ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world. Without that coordination, we wouldn't have one global Internet.

  12. THE BROWSER • Short for Web browser, a software application used to locate and display Web pages. • Internet Explorer • Firefox • Safari

  14. DOWNLOADING • The process of transferring files from one computer to another, usually from a Web server to a browser’s computer. • Time of download depends on: • The size of the Web page (including text, graphics, etc.) • The speed of the user’s Internet connection • The speed of the Web server and its connection • The amount of Internet traffic competing for use of the Internet

  15. As a Web page designer, you have no control over the user’s connection. You usually cannot change the server’s speed or how much Internet traffic there is. This leaves the size of your page as the only thing you can really control to affect speed.
