15. ELECTRONIC MAIL
Electronic mail, or e-mail, lets you electronically "mail" messages to users who have
Internet E-mail addresses. Delivery time varies, but it's possible to send mail across the
globe and get a response in minutes. LISTSERVs are special interest mailing lists which
allow for the exchange of information between large numbers of people.
Short for electronic mail, e-mail or email is information stored on a computer
that is exchanged between two users over telecommunications.
More plainly, e-mail is a message that may contain text, files, images, or
other attachments sent through a network to a specified individual or group of
individuals.
The first e-mail was sent by Ray Tomlinson in 1971.
Tomlinson sent the e-mail to himself as a test e-mail message, containing the
text "something like QWERTYUIOP." However, despite sending the e-mail to
himself, the e-mail message was still transmitted through ARPANET.
By 1996, more electronic mail was being sent than postal mail.

16. USENET NEWSGROUPS
USENET is a system of special interest discussion groups,
called newsgroups, to which readers can send, or "post" messages
which are then distributed to other computers in the network. (Think of
it as a giant set of electronic bulletin boards.)
Newsgroups are organized around specific topics, for example,
alt.education.research, alt.education.distance, and
misc.education.science.

18. CLIENTS AND SERVERS
Internet resources -- information and services -- are provided through
host computers, known as servers. The server is the computer system
that contains information such as electronic mail, database information,
or text files.
As a customer, or client, you access those resources via client programs
(applications) which use TCP/IP to deliver the information to your
screen in the appropriate format for your computer.
One important kind of client program is called a browser, which is
used to search through information provided by a specific type of
server. A browser helps you view and navigate through information on
the Internet.
Today's most popular browsers, including Google Chrome, Mosaic(R),
Netscape(TM) Navigator, and the Microsoft Internet Explorer offer a
graphical interface to the World Wide Web.
