Read the text and answer the question it asks. The Newest Media The Internet, a global computer network, helps people to communicate with each other. Its history began in the United States in 1969 when it was designed for the army. The idea was that information which is sent over the Internet takes the shortest and the safest way from one computer to another, so any two computers on the net are to exchange information. Nowadays the Internet has entered our everyday life. Millions of people have become its regular users and their number is growing. The most popular Internet service is e-mail. A lot of people use the network only to send and receive e-mail messages. There are some other popular services as well, for example, reading the news. A commercial use of the net is also growing. However, there are problems and the most important of them seems to be security. When you send an e-mail, your message can travel through many different networks and computers. It is possible to get into any of them, use or even change the data. A lot of programmes are cracked. Another big and serious problem of the net is control. There is so much information travelling through the net that it has become impossible to control it. Scientists all over the world are working on it and in the future the situation may change, but at the moment we have what we have: some of the information the network offers may be unwanted or even dangerous for the society. One thing is clear — the Internet has changed our life greatly, but is it for the better or for the worse? B. Speak about how you use the Internet or would like to use it.
