There are many ways to transport information on this highway, through the various application programs such as e-mail and the World Wide Web. All of these applications are based on a client/server relationship, in which your computer is the client, and a remote computer is the server. Your computer asks for files, and formats the information it receives. The information is actually stored on a remote computer, and is sent to you over the telephone line at your request, usually at the click of a mouse.

Modem: this is a small piece of equipment that translates the digital language your computer speaks into the analogue language used by the telephone, thereby enabling you to send and receive data. The name is a shortened form of modulate-demodulate (translation to analogue-translation to digital). Most new computers are sold with a modem already installed. If yours was not, you will need to do a bit of research into the latest models, to get the best speed and compatibility.
