The Internet
　　The Intemet was first established in 1960s. At that time, the computer was both large and expensive and the networks were unable to work well. If one of the computers broke down, the whole networks would be unable to work.
　　At first, the Intemet was just used by the government. By 1970s, it had been used in universities, banks and hospitals. At the beginning of 1990s, computers became both cheaper and easier to operate. Now it is very convenient to log on the Internet.
　　It is said that each day tens of millions of people log on the Internet.Sending e-mails is becoming more and more popular.
　　The Internet has become the most important part of people＇s life.
　　互聯(lián)網(wǎng)
　　互聯(lián)網(wǎng)建于20世紀(jì)60年代。那時(shí)，計(jì)算機(jī)又大又貴，網(wǎng)絡(luò)不能很好地運(yùn)行。如萊其中一臺(tái)機(jī)器出現(xiàn)故障，整個(gè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)就不能運(yùn)行。
　　起初，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)只由政府使用。到20世紀(jì)70年代，計(jì)算機(jī)已經(jīng)被用于大學(xué)、銀行和醫(yī)院。在20世紀(jì)90年代初計(jì)算機(jī)價(jià)格下降，也更便于使用了?，F(xiàn)在上網(wǎng)很方便。
　　據(jù)說每天有成千上萬的人上網(wǎng)，發(fā)電子郵件正變得越來越流行。
　　互聯(lián)網(wǎng)已成為許多人生活中最重要的一部分。
