Читать книгу iMac For Dummies - Mark L. Chambers - Страница 34

What is a computer without the Internet? Apple gives you great tools to take full advantage of the online world, right out of the box:

 Web surfing: I use the Safari web browser every single day. It’s faster and better designed than other browsers (although I might be biased). Safari includes tabbed browsing and offers shared bookmarks with your iOS devices through iCloud.If tabbed browsing and shared bookmarks sound like ancient Aztec to you, don’t worry. Chapter 8 is devoted entirely to Safari.

 Web searches: Siri (your voice-activated assistant) can search the entire Internet for stocks, movie listings, and business locations.

 FaceTime: An easy way to videoconference with someone using another Mac, or even with those using iOS devices like the iPhone and the iPad, is through FaceTime. You’ll find more on FaceTime in Chapter 12.

 Messages: Messages lets you use your iMac to chat with others around the world for free via the Internet — by keyboard, voice, or (with your iMac’s built-in FaceTime HD web camera) video! More on Messages appears in Chapter 12. Always wear a shirt when videoconferencing.

 Email: Soldier, Apple’s got you covered. The macOS Mail application is a full-featured email system, complete with defenses against the torrent of junk mail awaiting you. (Imagine a hungry digital saber-toothed tiger with an appetite for spam.) Send pictures and attached files to everyone else on the planet, and look doggone good doing it.
