Computers and the Internet
I. You can do many things on a computer these days. You can calculate very big numbers very quickly. You can write things and the computer checks them for you. You can add pictures to texts. You can watch movies, listen to music, and save photographs. If you have an Internet connection, you can also send mail to people all over the world. You can shop and find information for your school or job.
II. Millions of people now have e-mail. With e-mail, you can write to people from all over the world. It is cheap and fast. You can contact anyone you want in a few minutes. E-mail helps many people with their work. Other people use e-mail for fun. They write to their family, or they meet people with the same interests.
III. When you use e-mail, you don’t use the telephone, but you need a telephone line. You write your letter on the computer. Then you tell the computer to send it to an address. Your computer sends it by telephone line to a big computer. The big computer then sends it to the small computer at that address.
IV. E-mail is not the only thing you can do on the Internet. You can use the Internet to find something in a library in any country in the world. Your computer connects to the computer at the library. Then you can ask the library to send you information about their books and newspapers. The information travels by Internet to your computer. Then you can read it whenever you want.
V. Another way to use the Internet is through the World Wide Web (WWW). Companies, universities, and cities have sites on the WWW so you can learn about them. There is a lot of information, and often, there are pictures, too. You can use the WWW before you travel: Ask your computer to find sites about hotels or museums in a city. Or you can ask about the sites for companies: you need information before you do business with them.
