 <!--If someone knows anything about the post and get requests stuff, PLEASE put it down below-->
-The [[Modem]] is an extremely useful object in WoS programming. It allows you to send messages across the entire universe! You could even create a makeshift internet of sorts with it! This being said, it seems like a scary and confusing prospect for new programmers. But the reality is, that it is very simple. There are two main things you need to know to make a messaging system or something like that. First is the SendMessage method. This is very simple. It sends a message across the universe. All you need to put in the method's parameters is the message you with to send, and the [[Modem]] ID you wish to send it on. Here is an example:

 There you go! You have just made a simple messaging system. You can expand on this by using [[Keyboard|Keyboards]] to send messages, or use screens to make a nice looking UI.
