Communications Communications One of the primary reasons people use the Internet is to communicate. Through e-mail, web board postings and even instant messaging, people from opposite end of the world can exchange text and now even audio and video simultaneously, and unlike a phone call, at no charge.
Data can go from one state to another, one nation to another, with the blink of an eye.
Most likely if you have an Internet connection from which you are accessing the Internet, then you already have some sort of e-mail account. Most are pretty easy to follow, and you do not really have to give any information to receive an account name. E-mail is confidential, but limiting in the numbers that you can reach. Using a bill board at a frequently visited site is an effective means of spreading your opinions. Problems do arise when people, or usernames really, get into heated disputes on a board, and it is there for all of the world to see.
