10. What's e-mail?

|
It can take days to send a letter across the country, and weeks for it to go around the world. To save time and money, more and more people are using electronic mail. It's fast, easy, and much cheaper than sending a letter. In its simplest form, e-mail is an electronic message sent from one computer to another. You can attach pictures and other things to your messages, too.
Let's say members of your family are scattered around the country. Maybe your grandparents are in another state, and you've got an older brother or sister away at school. How can you keep in touch with them? E-mail is a great way to go. No wonder it has become the most popular service on the Internet!
