benefits of internet
The Internet makes it possible for us to communicate in various ways and enables exchange of information and files. The most common things we can do are:
- Get information on almost any subject by searching the web. It takes some skill to search efficiently. Since anyone can publish just about anything, there is lots of misinformation on the web too.
- Send and receive email or chat or exchange messages with people all over the world. Almost as fast as the telephone, there is never a busy signal, and you never play phone tag.
- Join discussion groups about a common subject with message boards, Newsgroups and email discussion lists.
- Get or exchange software and files with the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
- Explore the World Wide Web, which can use all of the above, and adds easy links to other resources and adds multimedia--graphics, sound, and video capabilities.
- Publish your own material on the web in blogs, message boards, or your own web pages.
