You can also use a Search Engine, a Web site specifically

designed to help you look for information.

Internet features

The Internet offers many types of communication tools to

help you perform many tasks.

❖ Internet email

To send and receive email of your own, you need a

mailbox on the Web or an email address.

If you have an account with an ISP, you can probably set

up an email address at the same time you sign up for the

service.

❖ Internet chat rooms

A chat room is a Web site that offers a place where

people with similar interests and ideas communicate in

real-time, one-on-one or in groups, by typing messages

which are instantly viewed by others on their computer

screens.

❖ Internet news groups

A news group is similar to a chat room, but instead of

using a dedicated site to converse about a specialized

subject with others in real-time, it uses a Web site as a

clearinghouse where all the messages are placed, like a

gigantic bulletin board.

❖ Online shopping

Many Web sites offer products and services for sale.
