Cyber cafes The cyber caf in Maidenhead is perfective aspect for tourists that take digital photos and want to send them to family and friends, also if a tourist wants to contact family and friends it is probably cheaper to email them from a cyber caf that having to use the phone to call other country although using the phone is quicker than email. Also people from within the community can use cyber cafs to do just about any subject they would take away to on a computer. They can read emails, send emails, browse the web and create documents. Some cyber cafs also offer scanners, printers and photocopiers although the cyber caf in Maidenhead wholly offers a black and white printer.

The website could have the choice to have a live bawl out but with this messages are not save where as with a forum
