What's hot? What's not?

The World Wide Web gets its name from the Web-like connections between computers around the world. Web users click on links, also called hotlinks. Hotlinks can launch many different actions on a web page: showing a new page, playing a sound file, displaying an image, starting an animation or movie, and others.

A hotlink may appear as colored underlined text,
or as a button,
or as an image.
To find hotlinks on a web page, move the mouse cursor until it changes from an arrow to a pointer hand.
Sometimes the hotlink offers clues about what will happen when you click, and sometimes it's a mysterious adventure!
Look at the web page that follows and record on the chart whether each labeled spot is HOT or NOT. Then, indicate your prediction about the action that would happen if you clicked on the link.
