Do you use the Internet? Do you know what
it is? The Internet is hundreds of computers all over the world that talk to
each other. To use it, all you need is a computer and a telephone line.
The Internet is good for many things. You
can shop on the Internet, look for information and send mail. When you send
mail on the Internet, it’s called e-mail. To use e-mail, you need to get an
e-mail address. This is easy and cheap.
E-mail is quick. It can take days or weeks
for a paper letter to arrive somewhere, but an e-mail will arrive in a few
hours. With e-mail, you can also send copies of your letter to as many people
as you want. Now, you can even send pictures, sounds and short films in your
e-mail. But there are still some things that you can’t do with e-mail. For
example, you can’t send real things.
