In business, e-mail provides cheap and rapid communication between the employees of an organization, and between a company and its clients and suppliers. An e-mail address contains an identifier,i.e. the user name. Afterthat comes the symbol "@" (pronounced "at"), followed by the domainname, which identifies the server that is used to send your mail, the category of organization and the country code.

The Internet is a network of networks. A computer network is a group of computers that have been connected so they can communicate with each other. They can send messages to each other and can share information in the form of compute] files. The Internet connects more than 18,000 of these networks, and more are being added all the time. On those networks are millions of computers, computer terminals and users — about two million computers and as many as 30 million users, according to some estimates. And it's growing by around 1,000 computers a day. It's no wonder that the president of ISOC (the Internet Society) recently suggested that the Internet could reach 1 billion people in the not-too-distant future.
