    Internet and Modern Life

    The Internet has already entered our ordinary life. Everybody knows that the Internet is a
    global computer network, which embraces hundred of millions of users all over the world and
    helps us to communicate with each other.

    The history of Internet began in the United States in one thousand nine hundred and sixty-ninth
    year. It was a military experiment, designed to help to survive during a nuclear war, when
    everything around might be polluted by radiation and it would be dangerous to get out for any
    living being to get some information to anywhere. Information sent over the Internet takes the
    shortest and safest path available from one computer to another. Because of this, any two
    computers on the net will be able to stay in touch with each other as long as there is a single
    route between them. This technology was called packet switching.

    Invention of modems, special devices allowing your computer to send the information through
    the telephone line, has opened doors to the Internet for millions of people.

    Most of the Internet host computers are in the United States of America. It is clear that the
    accurate number of users can be counted fairly approximately, nobody knows exactly how many
    people use the Internet today, because there are hundred of millions of users and their number is
    growing.

    Nowadays the most popular Internet service is e-mail. Most of the people use the network only
    for sending and receiving e-mail messages. They can do it either they are at home or in the
    internet clubs or at work. Other popular services are available on the Internet too. It is reading
    news, available on some dedicated news servers, telnet, FTP servers, etc.

    In many countries, the Internet could provide businessmen with a reliable, alternative to the
    expensive and unreliable telecommunications systems its own system of communications.
    Commercial users can communicate cheaply over the Internet with the rest of the world. When
    they send e-mail messages, they only have to pay for phone calls to their local service providers,
    not for international calls around the world, when you pay a good deal of money.

    But saving money is only the first step and not the last one. There is a commercial use of this
    network and it is drastically increasing. Now you can work through the internet, gambling and
    playing through the net.
