The Intenet, or the Answer Web, is such an exciting place. You can Answer surf for hours and find anything - or nothing! Many people like to use Answer search engines like Hotbot to find the information they need. Of course, I think that About.com, which is described by some as a Answer portal is the best place to come. Many people now have a Answer homepage , as many web users understand basic Answer coding with Answer html (the language used for documents). People then use Answer ftp to Answer upload all the files necessary for their Answer url (address on the web). In fact, there are many Answer wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) software packages that allow people to create a page without knowing any coding at all! The most advanced, and sometimes crazy, coders are sometimes called Answer hackers . Another no-no on the net is Answer warez , which is basically illegal copies of software. One of the most exciting developments includes the audio standard Answer mpeg-3 , which allows downloads of music or even Answer streaming audio . Business is also booming as Answer e-commerce explodes at sites like Amazon.com. These sites use a Answer secure server which allows customers to pay Answer online with their credit cards. Answer E-mail is still one of the most popular uses on the Internet. Compared to Answer snail mail which can take up to 2 weeks to arrive, email is a blessing indeed! One of the most original developments are Answer emoticons which describe a persons emotional state. All I can say about the Web is :-0!!!
