wget is a text-based client that can make HTTP and FTP requests, copying the results to a file. It's not a browser...it doesn't show anything on the screen but a progress message. So, if there was a file somewhere that you wanted, like the latest binary release of Tomcat, you could type something like:
wget http://some.mirror.com/tomcat-binary.gz and that file would be stored in the local directory on your system. No need for a browser, no need for a GUI, etc. Sendmail is a MTA (mail transport agent). Probably 2/3 or more of the electronic mail sent on the Internet is sent using sendmail at one point or another. You normally don't access it from the command line (its a service). It normally listens on port 25, and is normally installed by default on most recent versions of UNIX/Linux.
