`1990’s. The Web is a large-scale
`distributed *hypermedia system that is

`network, usually the *Internet, and allows
`access to “documents” containing “links”.
`It is accessed using a workstation that is
`connected to the network and is running a
`suitable utility program, usually a web
`browser. Within the Web, documents are
`presented in hypertext mark-up language
`(*HTML), and may consist of textual
`material or a number of other forms, such
`as graphics, still or moving video images,
`or audio clips. Within a document there
`will be material to be displayed and usually
`one or more links, which in a text
`document appear as highlighted words or
`phrases, or as icons. The links hold
`embedded pointers to other documents
`located elsewhere on the Web by the use of
`a *URL. A URL contains information
`specifying the network protocols to be
`used, the network address of the server
`holding the document, and die local index
`entry for that document. Activating a link,
`typically by positioning the mouse pointer
`over the highlighted text and clicking, will
`cause the workstation to connect via the
`network to the corresponding server, load
`the document and the means of presenting
`the document, and display the document.
`Browsers also allow the workstation to
`download programs and other files, either
`for immediate execution or to be saved for
`future use. Such files are a major source of
`*malware.
