The World Wide Web would be a dull place without hyperlinks to take us from one place to another. Tim Berners-Lee's original development of the World Wide Web was strongly motivated by a desire to make connections among lots of different sources of information.
With hyperlinks, or just links as we shall call them, we can jump to another page, to a different place on the same page--or to a different Web site altogether. A link is commonly identified by being in a different color than the surrounding text, and is usually underlined.
Click anywhere in the underlined part of this line to go to the second page.
