USENET NEWSGROUPS

Usenet (User Network) newsgroups are a place for people to communicate electronical­ly, to share ideas, to send and receive messages, and simply to chat with each other. Usenet newsgroups are accessible on the Internet. Usenet is practical­ly a network of computers through which millions of users all over the world participate in authoring or reading related newsgroup messages.

Usenet is made up of newsgroups and newsfeeds. Each newsgroup has a name. Each name describes a topic the members of the group discuss. Sub­jects of discussions are practically unlimited. However, there are some tradi­tional subjects that make up the basic Usenet News service. Among them there are the subjects of computer hardware and software; the subjects of recreational activities and people's hobbies, discussions about science ranging from elementary to complex research problems, discussions about cultural and political events around the world. There are debates on contro­versial topics, such as civil rights, workers' strikes and so on.

There are also subjects of professional categories: discussions among bi­ologists, business and commercial topics, newsgroups for precollege students and educators. Each computer user has the right to participate in any of the existing newsgroups.
