Communication.

By Philip Edward Warman.

E-Mail is the new modern way to Communicate. Most people have excess to the internet Now meaning that they can send E-Mail to anybody in the world for example you can meet people over the internet and then get to know them better by E-Mailing them. You can use E-Mail to buy things of the Internet anything from a Television to a new car. This all good but I want to know now it all works. Also in this course I will investigate how people and other things like Machines use other stuff to communicate.

Land Lines(The telephone)

The Telephone was one of the first things used to communicate to each other it has been around for along time. Around about when the phone was created operators would have to connect one phone to another what took a lot of time but since the late 1960's early 1970's all of the phones can connect to other phones now very easily using computers this does this by the computer connecting the two lines together making the two lines able to communicate to each other.

An example of How this works.

I'm at school and want to tell my mum that I will be late coming home because I am staying at school to do my I.C.T.

So I go to a phone and dial a number (01380 617617) I do so.

After I have dialled that number I here this funny sound this is the sound of the computer operator connecting the two phone lines together this is very quick much better than the older times.

I am connected to my mums phone and can tell her.

E-Mail

E-Mail in many peoples mind is the best way to communicate to each other this is because of many reasons it is very quick if you are connected to a Internet server for example Bt Openworld and many others it is free and instant once you have sent your E-Mail it has been delivered to destination you sent it to. In many ways Electronic Mail is the most important part of the Internet as it allows people to communicate almost instantly with others around the world.

E-mail is an asynchronous method of communication because the mail takes time to be sent from one place to another, unlike the telephone, but it allows very fast communication of ideas around the world; it allows people to send a message to more than one person.

E-mail messages are simple text messages. However, it is possible to send files as attachments to the e-mail message. In this way formatted documents and other large files can be sent from one Internet user to another.

E-mail messages are stored on servers in mailboxes and then accessed by individuals from other computers. This means that you do not need a permanent connection to the Internet to send and receive mail, as long as the server has one. Sometimes servers will not respond to e-mail being sent from another computer; the sending server automatically knows to try again for a couple of weeks before giving up.

If e-mail messages are not received by another system the sender will receive returned mail, so one can always tell when a message has been sent successfully. ...
