Media: Internet 🌐: A Freewrite ✍🏻
Earlier last week, I discussed about the significance of radio and how it is transmitted and received by the public. Today, I will be looking at one of the new electronic media we have, the internet (also known as the 'the Net').
Some of you would have been wondering how the internet makes it possible for its users to send email or documents to any part of the world in seconds. Did you know that you could also a whole book on internet? What about finding the answers to many different questions? Some of the answers might take you days or weeks to find without the internet!
The internet can be found in almost all businesses in the world. You can also use it in business centers or cyber cafes, paying for the facility, depending on the time you have used. The good news now is that many private homes are connected to the Internet; even some mobile phones enable their owners to gain access to the Internet.
What is exactly is the Internet. The internet is a network of many computers connected to one another. These include computers in businesses, government networks, private homes and other domestic places and websites.
In our spare time, many of us the social networks the Internet has provided. A social network service is a website where users share information or network with people they may not even have met. Examples of social networks are:
- Keek
- LinkedIn (for professional)
Currently, Facebook is the most popular social networking service, with about 800 million users. It includes your personal profile and some information about your friends. Facebook enables you to form users groups with schoolmates, colleagues in a particular organisation, members of in a ethnic groups, e.t.c. It even allows you to remember your friends' birthdays, chat with your friends and play different games.
That will be all for Internet today, try to study more on internet. 🌐
