Grandmother: ne net.. Internet, what is that?

One day, when I begin to log onto the Internet and check my email which I used to open it daily, my grandmother was passing by me and looked carefully to the computer screen telling me: what are you doing?

I paid attention to her, as usual I don't hear anyone while I was sitting on my computer, and told her tita How are you?, When did you come?, anyway, wellcome to my room... I was sending an e-mail to my friend, because she is having now an online English class on the web and I ty to hack her computer, you know tita, I have a good picture profile on the Facebook, do you wan to have one?, wait.. wait.. wait... yes, I got it... I entered, yes yes, I can see her pictures now, look look, coped them and also some films... Oh, good idea tita, how about sending this virus to her?

My daughter, are you ok?... What are you saying? Is something bad had happened to you? you are saying strange words, what is this emil? are you calling you brother and he doesn't answer you?... what happened to your friend is she ok, Is she taking a medicine... and what is the facebook this, are you reading an interesting book? Show it to me, that's the best to do in my life... ok ok, go a head, God be with you my dear...

That was the conversation that had happened between my friend Dina and her grandmother...
And for God's love to me my grandmother told me this story... This time, I realized that many many persons from the old generation need to know about the Internet and the different applications we use on the Internet...
And as we learned from earlier ages in schools that when you want to show up any topic you have to begin from the past histology of it. So, I will explain to you Dina's tita what is the Internet and from when it began and what are the different applications we have on the Internet web...
