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 and downloading files on 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 HTTP features of your Web browser to transfer
large amounts of data. You can also use the File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) supported by a separate software program.
Exploring video features
