Since this entire Tribune issue has been dedicated to the ways humans communicate, we couldn’t possibly leave out the Internet! The earliest notions of the Internet began in the early 1960’s, however, the term “Internet” was not used until 1982. The internet was originally conceived to allow researchers to create a network of their computers throughout the United States. Today, anyone has access to the internet.

Take advantage of all of the great knowledge you can gain on the Internet! One great thing about the internet is that you can easily find yourself a pen pal all the way around the world! Try a kid-friendly website like ePals. You’ll find lots of places that you can communicate with a new friend. Have fun!
