News media are the means or methods by which people learn what is happening in the city, in the
country and in the world. The news media can be classified into two general categories: the categories of print
media and electronic media. Print media use the written material to communicate news to readers. Electronic
media use air waves to send news into homes, offices and public places. Print media are usually divided into
magazines and newspapers. Most newspapers print news daily. For example, the newspaper “The New York
Times” is published every day of the year. Most news magazines are published weekly. For instance,
Newsweek and Time magazines are published once a week. The electronic media are generally divided into
radio and television. Radio news is news that you listen to. In the United States, many radio stations broadcast
five minutes of news every hour. TV news is news that you not only listen to but also watch. In Canada and
the United States, for example, many people watch an hour of news on TV at 6 o’clock in the evening. In the
future new categories of news media will develop. Even today computers are beginning to influence the
transmission and reception of news.

News media are the means or methods by which people learn what is happening in the city, in the
country and in the world. The news media can be classified into two general categories: the categories of print
media and electronic media. Print media use the written material to communicate news to readers. Electronic
media use air waves to send news into homes, offices and public places. Print media are usually divided into
magazines and newspapers. Most newspapers print news daily. For example, the newspaper “The New York
Times” is published every day of the year. Most news magazines are published weekly. For instance,
Newsweek and Time magazines are published once a week. The electronic media are generally divided into
radio and television. Radio news is news that you listen to. In the United States, many radio stations broadcast
five minutes of news every hour. TV news is news that you not only listen to but also watch. In Canada and
the United States, for example, many people watch an hour of news on TV at 6 o’clock in the evening. In the
future new categories of news media will develop. Even today computers are beginning to influence the
transmission and reception of news.

When robots are widely used in home, they will probably be used to do the cleaning, table-laying, scrubbing
and washing-up, but it is considered unlikely that they will be used to do the cooking – at least, not in the near
future.
In factories, mobile robots are already used to carry out a large number of the distribution and assembly tasks
while human beings carry out research and produce plans for new products. Among the numerous jobs on the
farm, robots will drive tractors, keeping their eyes on the ground in front to guide the tractor along a straight

The idea for the Internet began in the early 1960s in the United States. The Department of Defense
wanted to connect their computers together in order to share private information. In 1969, the ARPAnet (an
early form of the Internet) first connected computers at four American universities. One computer successfully
sent information to another. In 1972, scientists shared the ARPAnet with the world. They created a way to
send person-to-person messages using the ARPAnet. This was the beginning of e-mail.
Over the next few years, there was a lot of progress made in the world of computing, but most people were not
using the Internet. Then, in the 1980s, personal computers became more common. In the early 1990s, two
important things happened: the birth of the World Wide Web in 1991, and the creation of the first Web
browser in 1993. The Web made it easier to find information on the Internet, and to move from place to place
using links. The Web and browser made it possible to see information as a web site with data, including
pictures, sounds, and words.
