Hi Everyone! I'm Will, and I will be your guide for this lesson. I'm going to help you learn all about using the Internet!  
  Oh, give me a break, Will. These kids have been using the Internet since they were big enough to click a mouse. Spare them the boredom. Let's go to the mall!
Oh, yeah. This is my so-called friend, Wendi. Wendi doesn't know much about the Internet, but she's an expert on shopping.  
  Why, thank you, Will! Wait a minute--what do you mean I don't know anything about the Internet? You type in some words, you hit Enter, you get thousands of hits. What more do I need to know?
Okay, Wendi the Web Expert, answer these questions: What exactly is the Internet? Are the World Wide Web and the Internet the same thing? What's a web browser used for? Can you name two web browsers?  
  Well . . . ummmm . . . uhhh . . . Okay, so maybe I don't know much about the Internet. I get the feeling you're going to teach me whether I want you to or not! But you have to promise to go to the mall with me when we're done.
Okay, okay, we'll go to the mall. Now pay attention. You might actually learn something!  
  Sighhhhhhhhhh!
