The Difference Between a Web-Browser and a Search-Engine

This very basic tutorial will show you the difference between a web-browser and a search-engine. It uses Safari as the browser and Google as the search engine, but anyone will be able to learn from it, regardless of what they use.

universal reading language = URL

[hoskeebo]

Thanks. Since I made the video I've heard lots of explanations for what URL means. Most seem to agree that it means Uniform Resource Locator (world wide web address)

To all the little minds who make fun of people who are learning things that you think you already understand:

Please keep in mind that the title of this video should make you understand that it is for rank newbies.

You may be much too advanced for this (how nice for you), but please keep childish comments that make fun of people who are trying to learn, to yourself, OK?

[hoskeebo]

Maybe you're right. Maybe I should have given a tutorial about spelling and grammar instead.

I have a question, how do you close

the web-browser? I installed something

called "Silver Light" and it said I had

to close mein web-browser.

[hoskeebo]

I"m not sure which web-browser you are using, and which platform (Windows, Mac, Linux). On a Mac you go to the main menu-bar at the top of your computer, (while you are using the browser) and click on the name of the browser. A drop-down menu will come down, and you click on "Quit (whatever the name of the program is)."

I'm not sure about Windows or Linux. It should be similar, though.

I really appreciate your explanation..It was just what I was looking for.

BTW...I too am amazed at some of the "colorful" comments some people give..

Very unnecessary... Thanks again....from Mary The Supergranny

URL = Uniform Resource Locator

(not "Universal Reading Language")

Great introduction! I'm going to include the address for this video in a web basics handout for a class. Lots of my beginners are confused about this topic.
