surfing
("Internet surfing") Used by analogy to describe the ease with which an expert
user can use the waves of information flowing around the Internet to get where
he wants. The term became popular in the early 1990s as access to the Internet
became more widespread and tools such as World-Wide Web browsers made its use
simpler and more pleasant.
