Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If someone asks you “ What is the most important in your life?” maybe you will say “computer and the Internet.”

The first computer was made in 1946. It was very big but worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they worked faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”

The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But mow it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, write letters, do shopping, play games or make friends.

Many students like the Internet very much. They often go onto the Internet as soon as they are five. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that can’t put their heart into study.
