The internet has offered a wide range of features and services. Since its inception and
creation, the number of capabilities is just increasing significantly.

email was being used since then as part of the internet (Queen Elizabeth II actually created her
first email in 1976), it was only in 1977 that email was officially launched – when THEORYNET
provided an electronic mail system catering more than 100 computer science researchers.

cleared by clicking the garbage bin icon on its right side. Once cleared, the documents
removed can no longer be retrieved.
10. Folders – new folders can be created so as to divide and categorize the email messages.

set folders in such a way that they need not to manually transfer the inbox messages to

placed. This means the sender is just giving them a copy for information and reference
purposes only and is not expecting a reply.
3. Bcc – stands for Blind Carbon Copy. The purpose is the same with CC; however, the
recipients will not see the email addresses of those that are placed here. This is usually
done for confidentiality.
4. Subject – is the topic or purpose of the email.
5. Attachment – this is where files are being clipped along with the email. It can be
documents, slide presentations, video and audio.
6. Body – this is where the whole message is being typed; the work area. With the recent
developments, some emails have features leaning towards word processing programs
plus the emoticon commands.
7. Send – upon completing the email messages, clicking the send button allows
transmission to the recipients.

being. The need to mingle and communicate is inevitable. And with the fast development of

Job hunting sites – job fairs can be exhausting and inconvenient – long queues of people, not
to mention, the expensive printing of resumes and other requirements. With the development
of online job hunting sites, applicants need only to upload their resume over the sites and the
employers would just conduct a preliminary screening of their potential employees via online
thus reducing expenses from organizing job fairs.
