The Internet(互聯網)

                                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.

    互聯網

    互聯網建于20世紀60年代。那時，計算機又大又貴，網絡不能很好地運行。如萊其中一臺機器出現故障，整個網絡就不能運行。

    起初，互聯網只由政府使用。到20世紀70年代，計算機已經被用于大學、銀行和醫院。在20世紀90年代初計算機價格下降，也更便于使用了。現在上網很方便。

    據說每天有成千上萬的人上網，發電子郵件正變得越來越流行。

    互聯網已成為許多人生活中最重要的一部分。
