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.

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. 

You can use your computer to record sounds using the 
computer’s internal microphone or an optional external 
microphone. You can play sound files or audio CDs using the 
built-in speakers, headphones, or external speakers.

You may record sounds using the computer’s internal 
microphone or by connecting an optional external 
microphone or other sound source to the microphone jack.
