4 ACTIVATE Do a survey about how people use the internet. Ask four students about the things in blue in the text. Then write four sentences using the phrases in the box.

The internet

Where do you look for information, play games, watch videos, download e-books and buy music? What do you use to write emails or chat to friends on websites like Facebook or MySpace? More than 💿1.5 billion people do these things on the internet every day. Today, the internet is all over the world, but fifty years ago it did not exist.

The internet started in 1969 in the USA. It was called ARPANET at first, but its name soon changed to 'the internet'. Universities used it to communicate ideas and information. In those days, computers were enormous machines and not many people used them.

This began to change in 1971 when Ray Tomlinson, an American engineer, sent the first email message. He chose the symbol @ on his keyboard to identify his email address.

The internet didn't become really popular until Tim Berners-Lee, an English scientist, invented the World Wide Web in 1989.

His invention was very important because it became possible to do a lot more things on the internet like listening to music and watching videos. He created the first website and named it info.cern.ch. He used the symbol 'ch' for Switzerland because he worked in Geneva.

After that, people created millions of websites on every topic. At first, it wasn't easy to find information, so in the early 1990s many universities developed search engines. Lycos was one of the first of these and later, Yahoo! and Google became very popular.

Today you don't need a big computer to go on the internet. You can use a smartphone or a laptop with a Wi-Fi connection. Internet technology is changing all the time and it is changing our lives.
