Daniel has always enjoyed using computers. He started using them at school, but he’s had his own computer at home for about two years. He’s been using it to write his compositions.

This year, Daniel did very well in his school exams, and as a reward, his parents offered to buy him a modem. A modem allows his computer to ’talk’ over the telephone to other computers. Daniel has been using his modem for a few weeks now. He’s been sending messages to people around the world. He’s even been playing computer games with kids in America.
