Every single thing you see on the Web has its own distinct address,
or URL. Web pages, images, scripts, and other various multimedia
shenanigans all have a distinct location, which more often than
not begins with ye olde "HTTP" (which stands for "hypertext transfer
protocol") followed by a colon and two slashes (http://). Though
based on the file you're accessing, the preamble can vary, replacing
HTTP with: FTP, or "file transfer protocol" (used to transfer software
or other large files); telnet (which is used to log into a remote
computer); or file, which means the browser is reading a document
locally (i.e., off your own computer) rather than off a remote server.
