Navigation

Navigation is the art of moving among the information services on the Internet. Navigation is most often associated with using a browser to locate information on the WWW. In order to navigate the Internet, you must start somewhere. One common point of origin is the Yahoo! Web search engine. From there it is very easy to locate other destinations and jump to them. There is no single starting point for the Internet; instead each person has to choose where to begin by either typing in a known URL, grabbing a link from a Hot List or using the default home page of a browser. Learning to navigate, not just jump from place to place randomly, is a skill that takes time to acquire. Knowing how to locate specific pieces of information or places quickly will increase the benefits of having Internet access.
