What you can do online
You can usually do the following through an online service or the Internet.
Exchange electronic mail
You use e-mail to exchange messages. You can create, read, and respond to
e-mail. Unlike paper mail, you can conveniently send the same e-mail
message to a group of recipients. You can also subscribe to e-mail distribution
lists that provide information on topics of interest to you.
Access the World Wide Web
The World Wide Web is the fastest growing part of the Internet. Many
organizations post information on Web “pages” that you can view with
software called a Web browser. A portion of the Apple Computer “home
page” is shown below.
A Web page usually contains words or pictures that serve as links to other
information; you click these links to display related information. There
are Web pages available on every imaginable subject, providing news,
information, and entertainment. You can search the Web to find information
on topics of interest.
Some online services and companies that provide Internet access will even
set aside some space for you to make your own Web page available.
