One of the main sources for the spreading of news and events throughout the world is the newspaper.
The purpose of newspapers is to inform the public of political, social economic and entertainment
happenings, among other things .Generally, there are three types of newspapers: daily newspapers, weekly
newspapers, and specialinterest newspapers. Daily newspapers publish at least one edition every weekday.
Most dailies also have a weekend edition. Daily newspapers often have sections for news, sports, arts and
entertainment, business and classified advertising. Weekly newspapers print once a week and cover news of
interest to readers in a smaller area than that of a daily paper. They focus on local happenings rather than
national or international events. Specialinterest newspapers may publish daily, weekly, monthly, or even
less frequently. They generally disseminate news of interest to a particular group of readers or feature news
about a specific topic.
Thanks to the development of the Internet, we can now get access to electronic newspapers. To some extent,
enewspapers are cheap, uptodate, and convenient for most readers in the world.

Although computers are considered the most perfect and effective devices in our modern time, we cannot
avoid some certain problems when we are working on a computer. Letters and phone conversations are
private. It is against the law to open someone's mail without permission or to listen secretly to someone's
telephone conversation. And now there are laws to protect the privacy of email. It is also against the law to
read the messages that a person sends or receives on a computer. Although each person has a secret
password for his or her email, sometimes the passwords are discovered by hackers and the mailbox is
opened. Recently several companies that do business on the Internet have been attacked. The attackers sent
huge amounts of useless emails to the Web sites of these companies. The effect was to slow or stop the
ability of the companies to do their business. Such actions are known as "denial of service" attacks. The
companies say they may have lost millions of dollars because they were not able to provide goods and
services during the attacks. Most of the companies were able to solve the problem in about three hours. The
victims of the attacks included some of largest and most successful companies on the Internet, such as
Yahoo, Amazon, and Com and ETrade. The police have investigated the attackers. The computer industry
leaders have discussed the electronic attacks and the problems of computer crime. They suggest that a person
who is found guilty of such a crime should be sentenced to at least lo years in prison.
