This document discusses how computers connect to the internet using IP addresses made up of four numbers between 0-255 separated by periods. While computers use IP addresses, web browsers typically use domain names to locate websites and pages. The document also mentions that HTML files use tags like anchor tags to create hyperlinks between web pages, and these links are usually a different color and sometimes underlined to indicate they can be clicked to access another page.

When you click the link, you connect to another Web page.
