Internet is one of the most interesting and most important contemporary media. It reminds of a spider web spread around the whole planet (therefore it is called world-wide web) which connects millions of computers of those people who want to join it. Via Internet it is possible to communicate with one or many people on the opposite side of the Earth at the same time, it is possible to use the Net (as it is sometimes called) for instant sending and receiving electronic mail (e-mail). E-mail is short for electronic mail. It is a personal connection to the Internet. It can include text, pictures or even audio or animation.
Internet is most widely used for looking up information. It can provide millions of pages on every possible topic you need to know something about. Internet can be used for entertainment: you can find there games, song lyrics or jokes. If you don’t know the exact address where to find some information, you can use special programs for searching addresses: Yahoo, Google, Alta-vista are mostly used abroad; Seznam, Centrum, Volny, Tiscali are mostly used in our country.
