Communicating online is recognized by some as the "quick and easy way" to get a message across, while snail mail (known as mail sent via the U.S. Postal Service), is barely in existence anymore. Have you ever wondered how a message can get from one computer to another? Have you ever wondered how an e-mail can go from one country to another in a matter of minutes? An e-mail message has a unique delivery address that is made up of two components, a user ID and a host name. The user ID is the identifier of the recipient and the host name is the name of the server where the recipients e-mail address is located. In order to send an e-mail, you must have an e-mail client such as Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft Outlook or Google Mail. An e-mail client is the program that is used to create, send and receive e-mail. Once a message is created and the "send" button is pressed, the message is then sent to a server that will determine the best route to the recipient. Once the route is determined, the message is sent through many servers until it reaches the ISP (Internet Service Provider) of the recipient and the message is then delivered. With all of this being done electronically, who would want to use snail mail anymore?
