The World Wide Web offers information as text, images, 
audio, or video to be referenced from anywhere in the world. 
Special programs called Web browsers are specifically 
designed to work with HTTP. They make it easier to connect 
to a particular network address and send and receive 
information. 

To connect a computer directly to the Internet, many people 
and businesses use an Internet Service Provider (ISP). An ISP 
is a company that has the equipment and the 
telecommunication lines necessary to maintain an Internet 
connection. 

You can connect to the Internet by using a telephone line and 
modem or through other higher-speed communication 
methods such as Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), cable, and 
satellite links.

To connect to the Internet, you need:

❖

A modem 

❖

A Web browser 

❖

A telephone line 

❖

An Internet Service Provider (ISP) account

Once you have established an ISP account, you can access the 
Internet.

Connect your computer’s modem to a telephone line.

For more information on connecting a modem, see 

Start your Web browser. Have your modem dial the ISP’s 
telephone number, and establish a connection with the 
ISP’s computer.
