As Mia moved her cursor around the screen, the pointer changed to a hand when it hovered over a clickable link. She selected her size from a drop-down menu and added the shoes to her cart. Before checking out, she decided to look for reviews.

Mia found a review site and read through the comments. She used the scroll bar again to navigate through the lengthy reviews. Satisfied with the feedback, she returned to the shopping site and completed her purchase.

After finishing her shopping, Mia decided to watch a tutorial video. She clicked on a link to a video platform and used the scroll bar to find the video she wanted. As she watched, she used the forward button to skip ahead and the back button to rewatch a section.

Mia’s day exploring the Internet was productive and enjoyable. She realized how powerful and convenient the Internet was, with tools like the menu bar, drop-down menu,  search box, and scroll bar making her tasks easier and more efficient.
