18. How can I find information like my friend's phone number or e-mail address?
Back Next

Just like phone books that list people's telephone numbers, there are websites that do the same thing. With these electronic phone directories, you pick the city and type in your friend's name (or the name of his or her parents) to find the phone number. You can also do the same thing to get the number of a business.

It may be harder to find your friends' e-mail addresses, because most people's addresses are not listed on the Internet. The easiest thing to do is to ask them for it, then write them down.

Here are some good places to start:


    1. What is the Internet?
    2. Why should I use the Internet?
    3. What is the World Wide Web?
    4. What are a web page and a website?
    5. How does the Web work?
    6. What's a home page?
    7. How do I move around the Web?
    8. What does .com mean?
    9. What's the story with all those funny slashes and         dots?
    10. What's e-mail?
    11. What's so great about e-mail?
    12. How does e-mail work?
    13. How can I send e-mail to my friend?
    14. Are there ways to have fun with e-mail?
    15. What about chat? What is it?
    16. Is there anything I should know when I'm in a chat           room?
    17. How do I find cool websites?
    18. How can I find information like a phone number or           e-mail address?
    19. Is there anything I need to be afraid of on the          Internet?
    20. Can I listen to music or see movies on the Net?
