Streaming Media
Many websites offer streaming media, which is the process of "streaming" an audio or video file on the Web, rather than requiring users to download a file in its entirety in order for it to be played. Streaming media enables users to have a better media experience since the multimedia content is available instantly.

Lesson 1: Introduction to the Internet and the Web
Wendy Boswell
From Wendy Boswell, your Guide to Web Search
Welcome to Lesson 1 of WebSearch 101! Today we will take an introductory look at the Internet and the Web, two completely different and interlinked things. Although most of us might use the Internet on a daily basis, do we really know what it is? What is its history? Are the Internet and the World Wide Web the same thing? How do computers hook up to the Internet? Are there any rules and regs for the Net? These questions answered and more.

Join the conversation, ask questions, or just chat about the Web: About Web Search on Facebook.

What Does It Mean to Search the Web?
The Web can be overwhelming. There are so many resources available, that it's hard to know where to look first! There are three basic types of search tools that most people use to find what they are looking for - learn what they are.

How Did The Web Get Started?
Learn more about how the Web first got started and early history of the World Wide Web.

What is Web Search?
We all get on the Web to find something, but what does this mean? What does the term Web search really consist of? There's quite a few ways to answer this, but it all boils down to this simple definition: a search for information on the World Wide Web.
