The Internet When I was a little child in a small village, I never knew what telephone was and what electricity was.At that time, when I wanted

to contact with someone I just went to his family or cried out his name to make me heard.Then I went to a small town to study in a middle school a couple years later.In the text book and in the office of my teachers I saw a machine by which talked with somebody.At first I was amazed to see that and I wondered what it was.Through physics textbook, I know it was telephone.Maybe when I was in senior school, about in 1996, I first see computer with my own eyes but not in the picture.After 3 years, I went to a modern city to go to college.There I learned how to operate computer, how to store my own materials in a computer and how to use computer to do something that was difficult for human brain.We can also talked with a friend acro oceans and we can search anything that we need, my clamates were crazy about it.That is Internet.But we can not spent too much time on it ,we should use it correctly.
