Electronic telecommunication (networking) is a complex, and growing field in computer technology. It allows the user to link up with a more powerful machine such as a mainframe, exchange information through a Bulletin Board Service (BBS), access a remote database (on-line service), or send electronic mail (E-mail). This basic guide explains the main concepts, and how to get started.

The Information SuperHighway, Email, The Internet, FTP, BBS, Modems, : all buzz words which are becoming more and more routine in our daily life. Confusing terminology? Hopefully it won't be in a few minutes, all you need is to have a handle on a few basic concepts and terms and you will be on-line with the rest of the "telecommunication experts". These terms all refer to some type or aspect of tools associated with a range of computer-based communication software and hardware. They are in fact far less complex than the instruments we use on a day to day basis as microscopist's and microanalyst's. The key is for each of us to know what each is and how to make use of the wealth of information which they can make available to us for the asking. Basically all of these items relate to mechanisms and protocols by which we as scientists can easily exchange information rapidly and efficiently to colleagues in the office down the hall, or half-way around the world using computers and various communications media. The purpose of this tutorial/paper is to outline and demonstrate the basic ideas of some of the major information systems available to all of us today. For the sake of simplicity we will break this presentation down into two distinct (but as we shall see later connected) areas: telecommunications over conventional phone lines, and telecommunications by computer networks. Live tutorial/demonstrations of both procedures will be presented in the Computer Workshop/Software Exchange during the course of the meeting.

Electronic Commerce (e-commerce) is the process of buying, selling orexchanging products, services and information via computer networks. e- commerce is part of the e-business, where the scope of e-business more broadly, not just commercial but also include business partners, customer service, job vacancies. In addition to networking technologies www, e-commerce technology also requires a database or a database (database), e-mail or electronic mail (e- mail), and the form of non-computer technology as well as other delivery systems, and means of payment for e -Commerce. Given the electronic commerce (e- commerce) is then the customer can access and perform orders from various places. Given the current era of advanced technology is the customer who wants to access e-commerce does not have to be somewhere, it is because in the big cities in Indonesia have a lot of places that provide an internet access facility using only the laptop / notebook or by Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) using wifi technology. Thus the time is now very necessary and desirable companies to implement e-commerceservices. The use of e-commerce in Indonesia is still very limited. From the background that there is then the author will discuss how e- commerce pemanfaaatan in their business interests.

This article studies social networks on the Internet created by popular applications such as e-mails, Web, chat, file sharing via peer-to-peer interaction, and online gaming. The Internet has its roots in military and academia. Connections are available around the world at academic institutions, military installations, government agencies, commercial enterprises, commercial information providers (AOL, CompuServe, and MSN), and Internet service providers. The Internet offers the following services: sending and receiving e-mail (electronic mail), transferring files between computers, participating in discussion groups through newsgroups and mailing lists, searching and retrieving information, chat, Internet relay chat, instant messaging, Internet telephony (voice chat), and on-line shopping. Newsgroups contain databases of messages on topics. They are similar to mailing lists, except that e-mail messages are posted to newsgroup sites. Bulletin boards and discussion groups offer similar services. People “surf the net” to find information and download files and connect directly to other computers. Web pages are used to communicate with customers and suppliers, describe organizations and products, tender documents, and provide services (banking, stocks, and software).

An electronic mail mailing list has been created to aid communication between pediatric neurologists. Any child neurologist or neurologist with connections to the Internet, or a private on-line service can subscribe. The mailserver serves as a forum for discussion of topics in child neurology. Topics include problem patients, therapeutic approaches to clinical problems, and discussions of recent journal articles. In addition, we hope that individual case reports may evolve into series of patients by pooling similar patients from separate institutions. Cases, questions, comments, etc. e-mailed to the mailserver are automatically forwarded to everyone on the list. Responses can either be private (to the initial sender or any other member) or public (to everyone on the list). The CHILD-NEURO mailserver is run out of the University of Wisconsin, and the service is free-of-charge. To sign up, send an e-mail message from the address you will be using to: [email protected] with no subject and SUBSCRIBE CHILDNEURO as the entire message. A welcoming message with instructions on the use of the mailserver will be sent to new subscribers. Please e-mail or phone Dr. Ken Mack ([email protected]; 608-263-9086) or Dr. Steve Leber ([email protected]) for more information, or if difficulties arise in subscribing to the list.

One of the most interesting recent developments in computer technology has been the rapid expansion of computer-assisted information exchange, including use of e-mail systems, local bulletin board services, and the World Wide Web. David Fetterman, Director of Research and Evaluation at the California Institute of Integral Studies and Director of the M.A. Policy Analysis and Evaluation Program in the School of Education at Stanford University, explores in this article the features, opportunities, and problems related to using computer information exchange technologies for teaching an ethnography course. Applied anthropologists may be interested in his experiences as they design, implement, and evaluate research and intervention projects involving computer-assisted interactive training components. Correspondence about this article should be addressed to David Fetterman, 601 Menlo Oaks Drive, Menlo Park, CA 94025; Tel.: (415) 323-5339; Fax: (415) 725-7412; E-mail: [email protected].

In this tutorial, we will update, review and demonstrate the means of finding and accessing resources of electronic information which are maintained by the Microscopy Society of America and related national/international organizations. During the course of this live demonstration over the Internet, we illustrate the use of Electronic Mail, Newsgroups, File Transfer Protocols, Gophers, and Information Servers using the World Wide Web protocols. Although the MSA electronic bulletin board system (BBS) has be recently discontinued, MSA has recently decided expanded it's role in other telecommunications areas. The procedures needed by individuals or organizations to access this wealth of information will be presented in detail. The following list of topics summarizes some of the areas which will be covered.Electronic Mail: (EMail) is textual communications which is sent over networks from one individual to another. Each user is assigned a unique address by the computer system administrator. The message composed of normal ASCII (text) characters which is sent from one computer to another.

Effective communication between instructors and students is a challenge regardless of the instructor-to-student ratio. Instructors of large classes, in particular, have resorted to various forms of Internet communication, such as mailing lists and newsgroups, to supplement class time and office hours. Mailing lists are closed discussions among subscribers who receive and send messages via an electronic mail program (e.g., Eudora). Newsgroups are public discussions to which anyone can gain access and respond via a newsreader program (e.g., Nuntius). Newsgroup messages are posted to a bulletin board that the subscriber must visit to read. Mailing lists and newsgroups share many advantages (convenience, greater anonymity, and speed of communication) and disadvantages (computer access required, impersonal nature, junk mail, and lack of graphics in older programs). However, surveys of both faculty and students in biology indicate that mailing lists are generally favored over newsgroups. Reasons given for mailing list popularity included greater familiarity with the E-mail format and ease of access.

The development of computer technology and telecommunications right now has changed the way society communicates. The technology used to communicate exists since the first Internet presence, that is to say by using the electronic mail. Email is a technology that allows everyone to communicate by sending messages or files. As with other ways that can be used to read and send emails, use the email client application. Email client is an application installed on a computer device used to access the email account on an email server, the email client does not need to use a browser application. But as long as this classification on email is still done manually on the part where the file storage download. To resolve the issue ranking of emails can be done automatically according to the name of the subject of e-mail, messages or files that are entered on the e-mail client of the application can then be downloaded and the data to download are stored in the folder that corresponds to the name of the subject e-mail, so that a message or file will be stored in a folder, it gives the convenience classification for mail client application mail user electronic with the number of messages or files that are much more consistent with the existing keywords in the subject of the email. This email client application can create folders automatically when downloading messages. Then, the downloaded file will be stored in the folder corresponding to the name of the subject. The file extension downloaded * .ml, the file can be opened via the mail client application. The mail client application can run on Windows and Linux operating systems.

Many careers involve working at multiple locations with unpredictable daily schedules. Professionals may have several locations from which they conduct business. Electronic mail (e-mail) and other features of the Internet have facillitated the evolution of the virtual office, which gives the appearance of a single point of contact with mobile, busy people. E-mail is the most obvious use of the Internet. E-mail groups allow for effective discussions with people of similar interests and the exchange of hard-to-acess expert information. Websites and e-mail groups allow rapid dissemination and discussion of multimedia information. The Vegetable Research and Information Center is an example of how to extend the virtual office concept to the departmental level, allowing spatially scattered researchers, extension workers, and their clientele to work together and exchange information.
