a friend who lives in a different country.
     When planning to get together with friends,Julian said,"If I want to go and see a movie with a few
friends,I usually send them text messages.By telephone,you have to call every single friend one by one.

halfway around the world,and it cost me over $200!So now I just stay up  late to see if I can catch him
on MSN or I write an email."

　　Most major American universities and colleges strongly urge or require new students to have a computer．Most colleges and universities also have large rooms where students can use computers for class work．

　　Young children also use computer in school．Smoketree Elementary School in Lake Havasu, Arizona has given us a good example．The school also has a World Wide Web site．It tells about the school and the teachers and has a area for young children．These young children use computer in school to learn numbers and letters．They also learn how to use the computer they will need later in their education．
