In this manner the internet grew at first only few individuals and companies had access to it, but now, it is considered one the fastest forms of communicating in the world, reaching anyone with a phoneline (as the most basic form of internet connections) and a computer or access to one.Ĭonsidering how much the internet has grown over the past two decades, it is not surprising that the e-mail has become an important way of communication.
