2. Research: You can make use of internet search facilities to research just about any topic you can think of. This information can help you with a school project, or a presentation at work. You can search for the data you need, or go to specific research sites.
3. E-MAIL (electronic mail): Electronic mails enable us to exchange message with people around the world, including friends, family members, colleagues, customers and even people you meet on the internet. E-mail is an exciting feature of the internet as we can send and receive message over long distances. It is also fast, easy and inexpensive.
