Text : Internet
A few years ago, the Internet did not exist. The world seemed bigger, and
communications were not so fast. Today’s world is considered very small, partly
due the fast development in the communication system. To become a member
of this “small world”, also called an international community, two things are
essential: to know English and to be computer literate
The Internet is a familiar term to almost everyone, and it is also called the net,
cyberspace, the information highway, the online community.
By the way, what is the Internet? The Internet is an electronic communication
network linked by telephone lines and satellites which are connected to
computers. It transports information all over the world through programs such
as email (electronic mail) and World Wide Web (www).
The Internet started during the 1960s in the United State as a network for the
Defense Department and as a channel for information sharing among scientists.
Soon people started to send simple messages to distant friends and colleagues,
and the system was improved to become the communications tool called
Internet.
It was in 1973 that the Internet was first connected to the United Kingdom and
Norway. South America gained access to the Net only in the early 1990s.
Most the communication via the Internet takes place in English today.
So, let’s learn English and become computer literate to enter this international
community.
