Quiz

1:	Define the terms Internet, web page, and World Wide Web.
2:	How many files would you need to store on your computer to make a web page with some text and two images on it?
3:	Can you create web pages with Microsoft Word or a similar word processor?

Answers

A1:	The Internet is the "network of networks" that connects millions of computers around the globe. A web page is a text document that uses commands in a special language called HTML to add formatting, graphics and other media, and links to other pages. The World Wide Web is a collective name for all the web pages on the Internet.
A2:	At least three files: one for the web page itself, which includes the text and the HTML commands, and one for each of the two graphics images. In some cases, you might need more files to add a background pattern, sound, or interactive features to the page.
A3:	Yes. In fact, you can create web pages with any application on any computer as long as the application will save plain-text or ASCII files. Just keep in mind that word processors usually save files with extra formatting information by default, which is why you have to save the file as plain-text for it to work as a web page. It's a little simpler to just stick with a pure text editor such as Windows Notepad or TextEdit for the Macintosh.
