A. The Internet is a creation of the 20th century. All the existing means of communication were united together to create one — the Internet. Using the Internet you can send information like you would via a telegram, you can speak to people like you would on the phone and see images like you would on TV. You can shop, travel and talk to people living far away from you! It has become so easy to use the Internet that scientists believe that every day more and more people are becoming addicted to the computer.

B. What is the main purpose of the Internet? Evidently it is to extend the communication network. Using the Internet, lots of people can travel anywhere they like. These days we often have our friends and family living in different parts of the world. It’s important to keep in touch with them. Using the Internet, we can write and talk to people who live on other continents, thousands of miles away from us. It’s very important for elderly people who have a lot of free time but who cannot easily travel long distances. But it takes no time for them to reach their children living in other places via the Internet.

C. Have you ever thought of the dangers of using the Internet? Who will you meet in this virtual world? You can meet anyone there: smart and foolish, honest and dishonest people. When you meet somebody in the real world, you can look into their eyes, and see their body language — all these things help you to understand if this person is honest or not. Imagine that you decided to meet somebody in the virtual world. How could you be sure of their real age, appearance or interests? There are some criminals who use the Internet to involve young people in criminal activities. The virtual world can be as dangerous as the real one.

D. One of the most important purposes of the Internet is to collect, arrange, keep and share information — verbal, audio and visual. This way the Internet creates a virtual world, where we can find anything that interests us. It gives us the opportunity to learn about the past and the future, and gain new knowledge and skills. It is much easier to do research if you have an Internet connection. You need to take a few steps. First you have to type in key words. Then you select the information needed and arrange it according to the format of your research. Add pictures and photos to illustrate your paper — they can be taken from the Internet as well. However, remember that the Internet offers only information, and it’s you who selects and develops it to express your ideas.
