Abstract:

Anatomy of a URL attempts to emphasize and shed light on the important life skill of knowing how URLs work. Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) can not only be thought of as a unique address for content on the web, but also as a means of transmitting data to the webserver that affects what you see. It is important to make the connection between the URL and what you see in your browser, because getting lost in cyberspace is no fun at all.
