SURFING

On the World Wide Web, surfing means to move from one Web page to

another, usually in an undirected manner. When

surfing, the user typically visits pages based on

what interests him/her at the moment

The term comes from "TV channel surfing," but

instead of clicking on the buttons of the remote,

the user jumps from page to page by clicking on

the links in the Web page.

Surfing is an activity that started with the advent

of the World Wide Web. With hypertext links,

users can go not only from one part of a

document to another, but also from one document to another, including

those located in remote sites. Surfing is a favorite pastime for millions of

people around the world who have access to the Internet. Many users are

hooked on it, spending countless hours doing casual searches or other

online activities. Some do it to kill time.
