With their many uses, magnets are truly one of the wonders of our world. Learn about the history of magnets and the various ways magnetic technology affects our everyday lives.
Magnets have been in use for thousands of years. The first known reference to magnetism dates back to the 4th century B.C.E. from a Chinese literary work called “Book
of the Devil Valley Master.” In this book, it was written that “lodestone attracts iron to it.” Lodestone is a type of magnetite metal with a special crystalline structure that can naturally create a magnetic field, thereby attracting and magnetizing iron. By the 12th century A.D., Chinese sailors were using lodestone rocks as compasses for sea navigation.

Email is the main reason so many people are online. As long as everyone shows a little consideration and adheres to a few friendly guidelines, we can make this online community a happy one.
Email is fine for getting a message across and sorting out meetings, but it can be a bit dull, which is where file attachments come in. For instance, if you see a funny cartoon on the Net that you’d like to share with your mate, by all means send it, but check that it’s fine by them first. Their email account may have a limit on such things ? they may only be able to accept straight text, or files up to a certain size.
