The use of computer and the Internet allows people to work at home instead of traveling to work.
For example, a journalist who lives in a remote part of the world still gets in his articles on time for the
next day’s newspapers. The Internet allows businesses to communicate with customers and workers in any
part of the world for the cost of a local telephone call. E-mail allows users to send documents, pictures and
other data from one part of the world to another in at least 5 minutes. The Internet is providing a lot of new
business opportunities. Some businesses are advertising their products on the Internet. People can use the
Internet to do shopping. This saves a lot of time. It is possible to use the Internet for education-students
may connect with their teachers from home to send or receive e-mail or talk their problems through “on
line rather than attend the class.
