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

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.
