The world has witnessed a great revolution great revolution in the field of computers and software since the beginning of the 21st century. We are currently living in such awesome times in the universe where the virtual world is now the reality.

Just take a minute to ask your grandparents or perhaps, even your parents about the slow and boring process of communication through handwritten letters.

I am sure, they will tell you their ancient story of sending letters by writing some huge address, sticking some postage stamps over it and eagerly waiting for a reply from either side.

Sounds cute?

Sticking those stamps and stuff may look cute and nice but trust me, it was not at all productive or even close to efficient.

Can you even imagine communicating in such a way in the present times?

We love the Internet and its applications so much that we just cannot rely on these age-old procedures.

Envision yourself as a patient who desperately needs some medicinal doses. These medicinal doses are imported and are generally manufactured in very small amounts. If you want to get the hold on these drugs, all you have to do is, place an order and wait for it to be delivered.

How would you place an order?

By sending a letter or just shooting an email to the respective pharmaceutical company?

Thanks to Sabeer bhatia & Jack Smith for inventing the hotmail email service.

Smart ones who are very careful about their health would consider shooting an email with their detailed order. This will not only confirm their mail landing in the right place but also will ensure the rapid placement of their order. All credit goes to the email service.

How does one sign up for Hotmail?

The process of being a brand new user on Hotmail is extremely fascinating as well as easy!

If you wish to create a new hotmail account all you need to do is follow the steps below. You need to remember one thing that currently Hotmail is powered by Outlook.

1. Visit the official website. You click on one of this link –

https://outlook.live.com . You can simply type outlook in Google’s search bar and it’ll help you direct to the official site.

1. Once you enter the official website you will now be able to see two options- The first one is Create free Account option and the second one is the sign in option. Click on Create free Account. If by any error you click on the sign in the option you can either go to the previous page or you also have an option to create a new account just below the sign in details pop up box.
2. You will now be directed to the Create Account page. All you need to do here is select a unique email address and add the extension as @outlook.com or @hotmail.com depending upon your choice. You might need to try entering the new email id a couple of times as the one you like might have already been taken.
3. This step is extremely crucial. You will now be asked to enter a strong passwordfor your email account. I would recommend using combinations of different letters, numbers and symbols (@, !, ., etc). You may also opt in or out for various promotional emails from Microsoft. This is completely based on your choice.
4. You will now be asked to enter your first name as well as your last name. Once that is done, click on Next.
5. You’ll now be taken to the page titled as Add Details. You will be asked to enter your country name as well as your birthday. Make sure you enter the right details.
6. This is one of the most interesting steps of creating an account. For verification purposes, you’ll be asked to enter the characters that are written in a confusing pattern. Pay keen attention to the letters and enter them perfectly. If you need the new set of characters to click on new.

Some of the users aren’t very comfortable with visual characters. For their convenience, there is also an option titled as audio. Users need to note that they must enter the characters they hear in the same order as they are said. Once done typing in the characters, you can now click on Next. 

1. You’ll now have to set-up a few things. You need to choose your desired languageas well as your current time zone. Click on save. 
2. In between all these steps, the system might ask for your phone number to make sure you are a real person. This may sound funny to some. This is done to make sure that an additional layer of security is added to your account.
3. If you have signed up using a desktop computer, you have the option to choose a theme that suits your interests. You also have the option to choose a sign that will end your email in a professional manner. These signs are made by default or can also be customized.
4. Your account has now been successfully created. You are all set to use Hotmail(Outlook)
