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.
                  ATM facility is also a part of e-banking where you can withdraw cash from any of the ATM
                  machines and the amount will be debited from your bank account automatically.
                  E-banking is useful for bankers as well as customers. The bankers are benefited by way of:
                     Less transaction costs                               Less chances of human error
                     Reduction in fixed infrastructure costs              Customer loyalty and satisfaction
                     Reduced paperwork
