An icon is a very small drawing that is used as a symbol of something. Icons are used on telephone or computer screens. When you tap or click on an icon, the computer does some action for you.

| link |
Sometimes when you are on a computer, you click on a particular piece of text or an image and it takes you to a new page or to a different place on the same page. You can do this because there is an electronic connection between these places. This connection is called a "link." The piece of text or image that you clicked on is programmed to have this link so you can navigate from place to place. Sometimes when you click on something on a page, nothing happens. That's because there is no link within that text or image. [1/5 definitions] |
