The web is a system for publishing pages with information on the Internet. Web pages are written in text with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), then uploaded to a host computer running web server software.

Getting connected

A home broadband connection will allow you to access the internet. To connect to the internet you need a router that connects the computer to the net. Your computer will then ask for the router's password. This is usually printed somewhere on the router's case.

Also you can use Wi-Fi that allows you to acces to the Internet with no cables. Also you can connect your mobile to the internet too.

Downloads

To download files, films or music you only need to search it on the web browser, go to a web and search the site to download it. Also, its recommended to have a good antivirus, because many files that you download can have virus, and that's dangerous.

Social networking

A social networking is a website when people interact to others sending messages, photos and videos. Two of the most famous websites are Facebook and Twitter. Twitter allows the users to post small comments called "Tweets", and other people can respond and share it. Famous people has it and they have many followers. Facebook allows you to create your own profile like a noticeboard, publish photos, videos, comments, etc.

You have to be careful what you upload on the web because many people has lost job oportunities because of that, and rarely, many people has been jailed.
