Technology Changes Our Lives

Coputers changed life for all of us. Two computer inventions in particular changed the way we communicate: email an the World Wide Web.

Email,or electronic mail, allows us to spend messages without paper or a stamp. In an instant, aperson at a computer anywhere in the world can send and receive messages. Ray Tominson sent the first email in 1971. He worked for a company that was doing projects for the U.S. miitary. Their goal was to create a new way for people tocommunicate with each other.

The company created a network called ARPANET. Computer programs helped organize email. Today, there are about 600 million email accounts.

The invention of this network led to the development of the World Wide Web. Tim Berners-Lee created the ''Web'' in 1990. It allows us to connect to people and businesses around the world. It lets usdo things in seconds that used to take a long time. We can do research. We can shop onine. We can go to different websites and compare prices. We can find maps and plan trips. We can buy airplane tickets or get hotel rooms without making a phone call.

Coputers make our lives easier. Now, we can do almost anthing without leaving our desks.
