    The document discusses the history and features of different forms of electronic communication. It describes how email allows sending messages, files, photos and videos between computers using a network or the internet. Email became widespread in the 1990s and was a major development in business and personal communication. Instant messaging was introduced later, allowing real-time text conversations unlike email.
