One way to use it is by dialing up "Web Sites." Those are like electronic magazines that let you learn about subjects that interest you, just by clicking on words or pictures. On many computers, you can listen to music and see video over the web.

Another way to use the web is electronic mail, or 'email.' You can send email instantly to people around the world. In fact, you can e-mail us at inthenews@cbsnews.com
