Many new words have been formed in the area of computing in the past few years... and more will soon appear in the market.
Many new words have been formed in the area of computing in the past few years. The Information Superhighway and the Internet allow computer users to connect with computers all over the world, and use electronic mail: e-mail, now used by many of us in preference to snail mail, good old-fashioned letters sent in envelopes with stamps on! Another starting point is the World Wide Web - a system linking documents and pictures into an information database that is stored in computers around the world and that can be accessed with a single programme. This is often abbreviated to www or Web. These terms were all virtually unknown three years ago.
The development of the World Wide Web has led to a large number of new words. You log onto the Internet through an access provider. You can browse the web using one of a number of search engines. People and companies have Web pages which you can click on. If you find interesting pages, you can bookmark them - ie save them for future use. If you do not have a computer at home, you can go to a cybercafe and log on from there. If you get very hooked and surf for hours, you might describe yourself as a cybernaut (though this is also used for someone who voyages through cyberspace as in Star Wars), though other people are more likely to call you a geek or a nerd, or even a mouse potato: someone who spends hours sitting in front of a computer just as a couch potato is someone who spends hours sitting in front of a television. If you have a web page, you are interested in the number of hits you get - ie. the number of people who visit your page. Your homepage can have hotlinks to other people's homepages.
These days most of us are netizens -Internet citizens - and we learn netiquette - how to behave properly on the net (ie. Internet). Today we do more and more via the net; e-mail, of course, and e-business, e-banking, e-ticketing (the buying of airline or theatre tickets via the Internet); and we can read e-zines (on-line magazines). Not everyone likes this trend. There are those who suffer from e-fear or e-depression, especially if they have been victims of someone else's net rage.
The new millennium came over and the millennium timebomb (luckily) did not come with it in the form of the millennium bug. Remember the expanded terror that most computers could not recognise the date 2000 and crash? Well, fortunately no chaos at all...
