THE INTERNET
The internet is an international computer network connecting other networks and
computers from other companies, universities and organisations through an internet
service provider. The internet service providers include Yahoo, google, infocom, gmail
and Hotmail.

An internet service provider provides you with an internet connection and services such
as surfing, logging, e-mail. E-mail is the short form of electronic mail. E-mail addresses.
An email address consists of a service provider and the user‟s name e.gyigaali@google
.com.Ug.

In order for one to log in or on, one needs a Pass word. The password allows one to
begin using a computer system. At the internet cafe, one can have access to the
internet explorer. This is a computer programme connected on the internet used for
searching information.

 Besides, one gets access to the search engine. A search engine is a computer
programme that searches the internet for data for example by looking for documents
containing a particular word or a group of words from the data base.
Data base is a store of information held in a computer. In order to access information,
all one needs is to google. Google means to type words in a search engine on the
internet in order to find information about something or somebody. For example, job
opportunities, educational, political or commercial issues. This service is used as a form
of communication. For instance, one can chat with pen-pals, peers and colleagues. It
also enables individuals, organisations, companies and the government to send and
receive essential messages and information all over the world within a short period of
