Suppose you want to write a letter to your daughter. After your letter is composed on your computer, you must specify an E-mail ad­dress that identifies your daughter. Once you send this electronic let­ter, it travels from your computer, often through a device called a mo­dem, which connects your computer to the Internet via the telephone network. Off it goes, bound for various computers that act like local and national postal routing facilities. They have enough information to get the letter to a destination computer where your daughter can retrieve it.

Unlike the regular mail, E-mail often reaches its destination, even on other continents, in minutes or less unless some part of the network is heavily congested or temporarily out of order. The speed of E-mail and the ease with which it can be sent even to multiple recipients all over the world make it a popular form of communication.
