What is Wireless Networking?
Wireless networking is a technology that allows computers to communicate using standard network protocols without the use of any cables or phone lines.
Instant Messaging
Instant Messaging (IM) allows for instant text communication between online users. IM programs also include features that let you:
- create lists of friends with alerts when they come online
- participate in chat and game rooms
- exchange files
- search for and meet people with similar interests
- video message with your friends and relatives
Some IM programs even let you send short messaging service (SMS) text messages from your computer to a SMS-enabled cellular phone or pager.
The most-popular IM programs come free of charge from AOL, Yahoo!, and Microsoft - and one smaller company, ICQ Inc.
A word about security - remember that any profiles you create can be accessed by other IM users, friendly or not. Like any other online activity, it's important to use common sense.
Armed with this knowledge, head out into the IM world. After all, to use another cliché, 200 million users can't be wrong.
