If someone writes “4ever”, it means “forever”, “BFN” means “bye for now”, “BS” means “big smile”, “FTTB” means “for the time being”, and so on. Li: I see. How interesting! Now I can guess what these abbreviations might mean. M: I know quite a lot of these abbreviations. If you like, I can tell you more. Li: Yes, I will be grateful if you can tell me more. M: “CWYL” means “chat with you later”, “LTNS” means “long time no see”, “IYSS” means “if you say so”, “NOYB” means “None of your business”. Li: Oh, really.

P: New slang has been invented in recent years by students, especially as students get access to Internet and chat online. L: What are the details? P: Chinese students often use “Jituo” (寄托) or “GT”, meaning spiritual matter on campus or after graduation. Here “G” implies “GRE” and “T” implies “TOEFL”. L: How interesting. Go on please.   P: From Internet influence comes “@ group” or “net worm”,a way to describe Internet addicts.   L: That’s quite vivid.   P: “Goodbye” is usually put into “886” in the Chinese pronunciation or “3166” as the Japanese Bye-bye.   L: I think this sort of slang also shows our attitude toward society and how our lives are influenced by it.   P: Absolutely.

  24. Text-related Information Ways for Internet Connection:   There are several ways for Internet connection. One common way is dial-up connection. For dial-up connection, you need a computer, a modem, and a telephone line.   ISP is the abbreviation of Internet Service Provider. It provides services for Internet users to get connected with the Internet. Before getting connected with the Internet, an Internet user must apply for an account and a password from an ISP. He or she should also get its dial-up number, the addresses of its domain name and of the mail server. Now you can turn on your computer, start the dial-up program and get connected with the Internet. Then you can use the browser to enjoy the world of Internet. You can also send or receive emails with the help of the emails.   People can do a lot of things by browsing Internet, such as sharing information, transacting business and communicating with people across the globe.

Para. 2 Every day, about 55 million Americans log onto the Internet to use email, receive news and information, or conduct business. Para. 3 American Online Inc. (AOI) now claims more than 22 million members, up from 2 million in 1995.

Para. 6 The Internet’s ability to provide a constant flow of news and information has sped up an already fast pace for most Americans.

Wired life has also brought about growing concern regarding privacy and protection of identities online. Para. 8 And as with most innovations, those who have less money and receive less education in American society have had much less access to the Web and its respective benefits, creating what some call a “digital divide”.   3 4 5

Para. 13 Another factor is that links to the Internet are steadily improving, with broadband links such as digital subscriber lines (DSL) and cable modems providing speeds unimaginable in the past.
