❖ Internet news groups
A news group is similar to a chat room, but instead of using a
dedicated site to converse about a specialized subject with
others in real-time, it uses a Web site as a clearinghouse where
all the messages are placed, like a gigantic bulletin board.
❖ Online shopping
Many Web sites offer products and services for sale.
Uploading to, and downloading files from, the Internet
Transferring files from one computer to another is termed
uploading (transferring data from your computer to a site on
the Web), or downloading (transferring data from a site on the
Web to your computer).
There are several ways to upload or download data. It can be
as simple as attaching a file or document to an email, or you
can use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) features of your Web
browser to transfer large amounts of data.
Exploring audio features
You can use your computer to record sounds using an
external microphone or the computer’s built-in microphone
which is located on the front of the computer. You can
play .wav sound files or audio CDs using the built-in
speakers, headphones, or external speakers.
SRS audio enhancements are available in the Microsoft
Windows operating system. NOTE
