detailed information about

Check with your Internet

Search Engine
A search engine is a program used on Web sites that allows you
to search the Internet for keywords you enter. The search engine
generates a list of Web pages that contain your keywords.
Once you access the Internet, you can use a search engine to
begin searching for information. You can choose from many
search engines on the Internet. To access one of these search
engines, type in a URL, such as www.compaq.com.
URLs
take
you to the requested site.
E-mail
A form of mail delivered over the Internet is
e-mail. It is
like a paperless letter that goes directly from one computer to
another. To get e-mail, both the sender and recipient must have
e-mail accounts. Your ISP is one possible provider of an
e-mail account.
