Internet How-Tos

Can you imagine that not so long ago - historically speaking, of course - there was no Internet? If you wanted to chat with your next-door neighbor, you called over the fence, or you bumped into one another on the sidewalk ... now, there are documented cases of next-door neighbors exchanging apple pie recipes or pizza parlor addresses by e-mail.

Still, for better or for worse, the Internet is here, and it gives us some magnificent chances to communicate with people somewhere at the other end of the planet as if they were our next-door neighbors. In fact, from time to time, we get to know them better than our next-door neighbors. Quick, how many of you know your real next-door neighbors' names? So there.

You can also learn everything about topics you wanted or needed to know about. You can even realize that some people have different opinions concerning events around you - and that, more often than not, their opinions are as legitimate as yours, and that you can still be long-distance friends.

To learn how to make most of this wonderful new medium, read on.
