conditions before you go on a picnic, you can find time-tables
and maps for your trip, you can book tickets for your flight or
reserve rooms in a hotel…
The Internet is a diversified source of entertainment: you can
listen to music, watch films or play games. You can
communicate with friends or relatives on the other side of the
earth very quickly by e-mail or chatting.
The Internet is also a means of education where you can teach
yourself. There are on-line schools for you to further your
education or to study for a degree. There are on-line lessons for

entertainment, education, etc… It is really a wonderful invention
of our modern life.
