The changing Internet
The internet may have started in the 1960s, but it wasn't until the 1990s when it became to the public. In 1994, the Stanford Federal Credit Union was the first bank in the world to online internet banking.
By 1995, people around the world were starting to have internet in their homes. Internet in those days very slow because they had to use a dial-up . The computer needed to use a telephone line and sent noisy like a fax machine does. One of the problems was that if you were using the internet, you couldn't make or receive phone calls.
Over the years, the internet became faster and faster as was no need to use the telephone line for internet. Today, the internet is more complex than ever. It computers, satellites, mobile devices, and other gadgets in a network million of times bigger than the original one.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each question.
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
