E111 Using a computer

TEXT

Most people use their computers for emails and web surfing. Some people use desktop computers, others use laptops or tablets.

There are many browsers on the market, but most people use Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari.

Through the browsers you can access your social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., which are also accessible by mobile devices (smart phones or tablets). You can also access video sharing sites, such as YouTube.

To access video sharing or streaming sites, you need high – speed internet connection (WIFI), with good upload and download speeds.

Many web sites are free, but some require that you sign-up or register with them. When you register, you must choose a login ID and a password .

The internet is so convenient, so much information can be found there; you wonder how we did without it in the past.
