Chapter 4 post #1

Communicating online is an everyday occurrence for me.  I check my email, IM (instant message) people or PING them, Skype, read articles from the Associated Press, update blogs, and connect with family and friend through several social networks.  I honestly can say I've never thought of how I'm able to do these things.

Learning the components of email systems as well as e-mail etiquette was something that was just known to me, never explained or taught.  After reading Chapter 4 I can now say I do!  In the next few posts, I'll explain what I learned from Chapter 4 in more detail!
