Definitions When people think of the Internet they quite often think of email as well. The two are very closely linked, however they serve two totally different purposes.
Email is basically a quick way to send a message from one place to another.
Using this address other people with email addresses can send you messages and other files. Many people incorporate an email address into their website so that you can mail them with your comments just by clicking on a picture or word. You can mail me if you like with your comments and questions by clicking HERE . Chat, unlike email, is a feature of the Internet where you can talk in real time, like on the telephone, with other people who are in the same chatroom as you. Don't be put off if someone is nasty to you in a chatroom - this is called flaming and is relatively commonplace amongst the online community.
