This is achieved by a device called a modem which converts the data from the sending computer into a form which can be sent along a telephone cable. A modem attached to the other computer converts the incoming signal back into a form suitable for the computer to use. Email is a very small part of what is available using telecommunications. There are a number of national networks such as Micronet and Telecom Gold that can be used to send email messages. Modems make it possible to access a wide range of facilities such as large on-line databases of informationbankingnewstheatre and holiday booking facilities etc. This form of communication is very fast and removes the need to use letters, envelopes and the postal facilities. The message will be placed in the electronic mailbox of the receiver and will remain there until the next time the computer is used and the receiver opens the mailbox and reads the messages. Some systems can inform the user when a message has been received and if the message is urgent the computer can sound an alarm!

Many industries use drawings as the main way of communicating information. These drawings need to be very detailed and precise. Computer Aided Design was developed to meet the needs for improved speed and accuracy of visual communication.Graphic images play a major role in the way ideas are communicated. Visual images often convey meaning far more quickly than several pages of text.CAD can be used by architects or designers to produce plans of buildings to very exact dimensions. After the basic design plan is created, the CAD program will enable text to be added to the plan, and fittings to be drawn and positioned on the plan. The finished plan can then be stored on a disk and printed to provide a visual record for the customer. Save and print the document.Add the phrase, such as manufacturing and construction, after the words Many industries in the first paragraph.Move the second paragraph beginning Graphic images .... so it becomes the first paragraph.Inset both left and right margins of the first paragraph by either 2cm or 0.5”.Underline and centre the headingFully justify the middle paragraph and set it in double line spacingFully justify the final paragraphAdd your name to the footerSave as CAD in the Word Processing folder and print. ................
