Newsgroup

                  A newsgroup is an online discussion group where people talk about a specific topic. Everyone in
                  the group is interested in the same topic and shares their thoughts and ideas. All the participants
                  put up their comments or views on the topic as well as on the comments or views of other
                  participants. In this way, a discussion on a topic is done. Generally, there is one person, known
                  as News Admin who manages the newsgroup. The News Admin keeps a check on the comments
                  of participants. He decides when to stop discussion as well as approves the comments or articles
                  before they are posted on the newsgroup page.
                  E-Greetings

                  An  e-greeting is just like a paper greeting card. The only difference is that it is created with
                  the help of digital text and effects. While paper greeting card is in hard copy, e-greeting is
                  in soft copy. This means that  you can see an e-greeting  on your  monitor but you cannot
                  touch it. E-greetings are sent anytime through e-mails,  thus saving paper  and trees.
                  The  animation  effects  and  music along  with  still images and  text  makes an  e-greeting
                  look awesome. Some of the popular  e-greetings websites are  www.123greetings.com,
                  egreetings.gov.in, www.e-cards.com, etc.






















                                                                E-Greetings

                  The sender of the e-greeting sends a link of the e-greeting to the receiver and the receiver needs
                  to click on that link to view the e-greeting in his web browser.

                   The first e-greeting card website was created by Judith Donath in December 1994. It was
                   named the Electric Postcard. It was started with 10-20 e-cards a day and reached 19,000
                   e-cards a day in December 1995.

                  E-Banking

                  The  technology  has paced  many  steps. We can  now  transfer  money online from  one  bank
                  account to another. In earlier days, cheques were used to transfer money. It took 2-3 days for
                  the clearance of cheques. If cheques were spoiled, mutilated and lost then the transfer took more
                  time as a fresh cheque was required again. With e-banking, you can transfer funds easily from
                  one account to another through a computer, laptop and even your smartphone.
