Technology does play a lot in making life more convenient. I’m sure many globe trotters out there are familiar with the e-ticket, which is an electronic document used for ticketing passengers most prominently in commercial airlines. For those who are not so familiar with this electronic service, I’ll give you a short run-down of what it’s all about.
What basically happens is that a customer books a flight through an airline’s Web site or through phone. The following details are then assigned to the customer: confirmation number, flight number, date, departure location, and destination location. Although a hard copy can be requested to be sent by postal mail, one only needs to bring identification to be presented upon boarding.
This way, printing and mailing costs of airline companies are significantly reduced. This also reduces incidences of lost or forgotten documents.

The Can Spam Act (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) of 2003 allows courts to sue spammers for up to $2 million in damages if they violate certain rules. This Act requires that businesses clearly label commercial e-mail as advertising, use a non-misleading subject line, provide a legitimate e-mail address and physical address, and process opt-out options within ten days. There are those who believe that high penalties will discourage spammers. However there are many weaknesses to this act, including the fact that spamming is a world wide problem and it is very difficult to enforce the act upon the internet.

It’s not any mainstream music group, in case you are wondering (although it does sound like it). B2G stands for business-to-government, which is a concept of several business and government agencies having to use a central Web site for easy information dissemination and sharing. For example, a particular B2G site can actually could provide a one-stop “shop” where businesses can locate and download forms such as applications and taxes in various government levels.

And now internet applications are better and new improved� in fact it�s now richer! Haha, bad joke, I know.
For all the Internet newbies out there, rich Internet application (reduced to a less mouthful RIA) is Web application that has the same functions and features as your usual desktop applications. RIA runs inside a Web browser without having to install particular software programs to work. Some RIAs are browser specific though so it is often normal to encounter these applications not to work in some Net browsers.
The RIA�s difference from other Web-based applications is that of its intermediating client engine between user and application server. When RIA is launched, its client server engine also downloads. The engine then can also act as a browser extension so it can deal with the user interface and server communications.

I’m sure everyone is already familiar with this. It’s everywhere and it is actually something that I abhor! Ask my friends and they’ll tell you, I’m one of the few who does not contract his messages. Anyway, chat or text abbreviations are commonly used in e-mail, online chatting, online discussion forum postings, instant messaging, and in text messaging.
Here are few examples:
BTA But then again…
BTW By the way

Nope, the term above is not a 3-letter variation of the 4-letter word one usually hears on an Eminem track (not to diss Eminem, I love the guy!). FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions. It�s basically a portion or a page in most websites that handles and answers questions that are frequently asked by users of the site (hence, the name). Most of the questions are regarding rules of the site, or maybe troubleshooting guides, or it can be a substitute to an About page or something like that.
Some FAQ pages are short, while there are other FAQ pages that are too long that some website owners opt to create a downloadable text document instead.

Spam is spam. And I’m not talking about those wonderful breakfast treats. They’re basically junk e-mail that come companies send to advertise a particular product or service. There are even those that scam people about receiving secret inheritance, etc. Spamming is considered an abuse of electronic messaging systems since it is used to arbitrarily send unwelcome bulk messages. Some are funny but most of them are annoying especially when they start littering your Inboxes.
Many Web mail hosts have spam or junk mail filters but not all junk mails are screened so be extra vigilant about it. If you an unfamiliar sender or if the subject is obviously lewd or fishy, then go ahead and delete it.
