The use of computer and the internet allows people to work at home instead of traveling to work. For example, a journalist who lives in a remote part of the world still gets in his articles on time for the next day’s newspapers. The internet allows businesses to communicate with customers and workers in any parts of the world for the cost of a local telephone call. This means it’s inexpensive to communicate. Email allows users to send documents, pictures and other data from one part of the world to another in at least 5 minutes. The internet is providing a lot of new business opportunities. Some businesses are advertising their products on the internet. People can use the internet to do shopping. This saves a lot of time. It is possible to use the internet for education- students may connect with their teachers from home to send or receive e. mail or talk their problems through ‘ on – line’ rather than attend a class.
