    Hey dude! You can just do your homework by using google for detail answers. Let me try to just give you an idea or image about them.

    E-mail: it works like the post office. You write your letter and stamped it (compose your email), drop it at the post office (send it from your computer using your email hosting). Your post office sends the letter to the recipient’s post office (to person to whom you’re sending the email hosting), the other post office delivers your letter (the email being received).

    Mailing list: creating a group of email address and send the email one time. the email gets dispatched by looking up the addresses within the group.

    Instant messaging: it’s like talking to someone over the phone by in this case using you keyboard. It happens between 2 people.

    Chat rooms: works like instant messaging. But here there are more than 2 people. It’s like conferencing.

    VoiP: V=Voice, o=over, IP=IP address. It’s talking to someone by using Internet line

    Newgroups: it’s like a forum where instead of asking question, you post news.

    message board: it’s a page of news paper where you get message that is addresses to you or people that are concerned.

    FTP: works like transfering files between 2 computers. But in this case you send the file onto a web serve.

    Good luck!
