(Прочитайте текст и будьте готовы рассказать своими словами, какие существуют современные средства передачи информации)
Faxes (fax machine) are used for transportation business correspondences by telephone
net. In business practice of nowadays the sending information by fax includes:
—business offers;
—price lists;
—advertising materials;
—press releases;
—written inquires, etc..
Usually the size of fax could not be more than one page and its structure is the same as in
a business letter.
The information doesn't send by fax:
—original contracts;
—letters of credit;
—invoices and other important financial documents, which are sent by mail or
transport with courier.
The most popular Internet service is E-mail. Most of the people, who have access to the
Internet, use the network only for sending and receiving e-mail messages. However,
other popular services are available on the Internet: reading USENET news, using the
World-Wide Web, telnet. FTP and Gopher.
The Internet, a global computer network, which embraces millions of users all over the
world, began at the United States in 1969 as a military experiment. It was designed to
survive a nuclear war. Information sent over the Internet takes the shortest path available
from one computer to another. Because of this, any two computers on the Internet will be
able to stay in touch with each other as long as there is a single route between them.
Most of the Internet host (узловой) computers (more than 50%) are in the United States,
while the rest are located in more than 100 other countries. Although the number of host
computers can be counted fairly accurately, nobody knows exactly how many people use
the Internet, there are millions, and their number is growing by thousands each month
worldwide.
In many developing countries the Internet may provide businessmen with a reliable
alternative to the expensive and unreliable telecommunications system of these
countries. Commercial users can communicate over the Internet with the rest of the
world and can do it very economically. When they send e-mail messages, they have to
pay for phone calls to their local service providers, not for calls across their countries or
around the world.
E-mail is one of the most popular and easy taken service of the Internet. However, some
problems remain. And the most important is security.
