The invention of the camera goes far into the past. In the 1500s, men were experimenting with cameras that made images (图像). But it was not 1 the early 1800s that man found a way to make the pictures permanent(永久的). Even then, photography was a new field. Most families had their pictures 2 by photographers. People did not own cameras because taking pictures and developing the films (冲洗胶卷) were too difficult. In 1884, George Eastman changed photography 3 inventing a kind of film that could fit into a small camera. Because the new film was 4 to use, many people began to buy cameras.

When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train. He did experiments on the train in his spare time. Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well. They fired him when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the train. Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time in experimenting his first patent(专利权) in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity.
Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He always worked 16 out of every 24hours. Sometimes his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.

The Internet joins millions of computers all over the world, and today it is used by people all over the world. It was invented in the 1960s in the USA. The American government needed a network of computers for its army. Then in the 1970s scientists and business people also wanted to use the Internet to send and receive messages. For some years, they weren't allowed to use the US network, and when they were allowed to, the messages were in very simple text without photos.
The World Wide Web was invented by a British scientist named Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. He wanted to send documents to other scientists, so he developed the World Wide Web. This allowed him to send and receive scientific documents with text, drawings and photos (also called multimedia documents). In the 1990s, more and more people began to use the Internet and the World Wide Web.
So what's the difference between the Internet and the World Wide Web? The Internet is the hardware. It allows us to communicate with other people. The World Wide Web is the software. It allows us to create, see and read multimedia documents.
The Web is made up of millions of documents called Web pages. These pages are held in computers all over the world. Many people have a favorite website with a number of Web pages on the same subject.
The email is a way of using your computer to send and receive messages. It's cheaper and quicker to use emails than send normal mails. New users call the normal mail "snail mail" because it's too slow. It took 50 years for 100 million people to listen to the radio. It took 15 years for l00 million people to watch television. By the year 2000, it had taken only about three years for 100 million people to use the Internet. What will happen next on the Internet?
