              Computers can be used to exchange data and files. This can be done using secondary storage
              devices. But if files have to be frequently exchanged on the computers that are not near to

              each other, then it becomes a tiring job. To overcome this trouble, the systems are connected
              to form a network. Computers connected to a network can share data and files efficiently
              without any delay using e-mail. Let us learn what is an e-mail and how to use.


                   INTERNET


              Internet is a global network of millions of computers and computer networks all over the world.
              It allows us to access and share information over the network. Internet contains billions of
              websites to provide information. And these websites contain related web pages. Websites are

              located by using the website address or Universal Resource Locator (URL) which is a unique
              address.


                   TYPES OF INTERNET CONNECTION


              To connect your computer with Internet, you need an Internet connection. There are numerous
              ways to connect your computer to the Internet. Some of the most widely used ways are:

              Dial-up Connection

              Dial-up requires users to link their phone line to a computer in order to access the Internet.

              It doesn’t allow users to make or receive phone calls through phone service while using the
              Internet.

              Broadband Connection

              Broadband is provided through  either cable or telephone  companies. It is a high-speed

              Internet connection. You can share a large amount of data. It is significantly faster than a dialup
              connection  and  makes or receives phone  calls. A  broadband  connection  provides  Internet
              access only through cable.
