Nowadays the most popular Internet service is e-mail. Most of the people use the network only for sending and receiving e-mail messages. They can do it either they are at home or in the internet clubs or at work. Other popular services are reading news, telnet (телефония), working, gambling (азартные игры) and playing through the internet. etc. You can read the latest copy of your favorite newspaper while planning your night's TV viewing and ordering some cheap CDs from American discount disc store.

You can debate important problems on line, surf the net and get all sorts of information, enter the chat room with other Internet users, correspond with your friends, open your own web page (web site) and place there information about yourself.

You can send e-mail to someone you've never met before... Some people have «met» over the Internet and got married.
