INTERNET
We are now living in the age of computers. Almost all of us have heard Internet . The computer, within a few years of its arrival, has completely revolutionized and changed the life styles of the people all over the world. Now the Internet has revolutionized our communication systems and even our attitudes. Gone are the days of the fax and the mail services. E-mail has replaced the customary mail services. Majority of the middle class homes today have computers with Internet services. The Internet is comparatively cheaper and faster. It has reduced the world to a complex web of communication.

The Internet is like a network of networks where any computer can link up to information stored within it. It is accessed by a telecommunications line and a modulator-demodulator (MODEM). It is brought to your computer screen by converting analogue telephone signals into digital computer signals. There are many advantages and disadvantages on the Internet.

The main advantage of the Internet is that communication is made very easy. Two people on opposite sides of the world may communicate with each other via such things as videoconferences. This would save money on flights to other countries just to have a meeting when they can each communicate from their own office.

The Internet is a very good place to advertise companies. Businesses can build their own websites and buy their own memorable .com domains. This can be where they explain their company and the services they offer. Some can even offer home delivery directly from the Internet with things such as home shopping. This makes life very easy for disabled people or people with busy lives who have no time to go shopping.

Other services the Internet has to offer are things such as Online Banking. This is often quicker and easier for people so that they can carry out their task easily in no time.
