E-mail is electronic mail, a way of sending messaes from and to a computer.  It is the most widely used Internet service with billions of messages being sent each day.

Chatting is exactly wht its name suggests, but rather than chatting over the back fence, users chat across cyberspace.

Video-conferencing involves a group of users establishing a connection between themselves over the Internet.  Through the use of software such as MS Netmeeting, video cameras and micorphones, users can see and speak directly to each other.  The use of video-conferencing assists businesses and students in remote areas of Australia.   Video-conferencing is limited by the available bandwidth.
