Hi, I'm Hannah with more computer news you can use.

00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
How does email work?

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
It's cool to send an email letter to my aunt in another city, but I have no idea how it works.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:20,000
In its simplest form, email is just a message sent between two computers.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Your computer needs another computer called a server to send and receive your email.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
That sounds a lot like taking a letter to a post office.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
It is. It's just done electronically with a computer.

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Once your email letter gets to the destination server, your aunt can retrieve and read your letter on her computer.

9
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
I love knowing I can write to her as fast as I can talk to you.

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
By the way, what's with the dots and letters in the email address?

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000
