The internet

Electronic mail sends an instant message to someone's inbox at the touch of a button. This has its advantages over postal mail in that it is practically free; no stamp is required. Also attachments can be sent, whereas in postal mail, any files would have to be sent with a disk. It can also be sent to multiple recipients, which would save writing out the letter again and again. It also delivers it instantly cutting out the time taken to deliver it.
             As well as information, the Internet also allows you to download files to your hard drive. It can circulate freeware and shareware that a user can download to his or her computer.
             The Internet can provide entertainment to the user with interesting sites or online games. There are endless things to do online. You can also "chat" with other users and it can be a place to meet new people.
             The most widely used code on the Internet, HyperText Mark-up Language (HTML), is generally quite small in KB so it does not use up too much memory on your computer.
             The Internet is becoming more and more accessible to the user with now access from almost every computer and things such as WAP Mobile Phones and personal organisers.
             The Internet can also be used in connection with Teleworking. This is where people work from home and send their work via fax or e-mail. They can make use of the Internet to communicate with the main work place and send their work through it.
             The information it provides can be viewed in a much better quality than previous interactive sources of information. For example, Teletext found on some televisions has only a small range of colours and cannot support clear images; it does not have the memory for as many pixels as a computer.
             There are also many disadvantages of the Internet. The Internet does provide downloads but some of these downloads may infringe copyright rulings. The best example of this is the mp3 downloader Napster. This allows people to save music to their hard drive, some of which is protected by copyright.
