Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.

How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.

Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.

    We are busy talking about and using the Internet，but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

    Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time，computers were large and expensive. Computer network didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down，then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working，information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working on the time.

    At first the Internet was only used by the government，but in the early 1970s，universities，hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However，computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s，computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made "surfing"in the Internet more convenient.

    Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.

    The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.
