[|Cyber Bullying]:The [|National Crime Prevention Council]'s definition of cyber-bullying is "when the Internet, cell phones or other devices are used to send or post text or images intended to hurt or embarrass another person."[|[2]] StopCyberbullying.org, an expert organization dedicated to internet safety, security and privacy, defines cyberbullying as: "a situation when a child, tween or teen is repeatedly 'tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted' by another child, tween or teen using text messaging, email, instant messaging or any other type of digital technology." Other researchers use similar language to describe the phenomenon [|Connect]:The use of the terms **uploading and downloading** often imply that the data sent or received is to be stored permanently, or at least stored more than temporarily. In contrast, the term downloading is distinguished from the related concept of //[|streaming]//, which indicates the receiving of data that is used near immediately as it is received, while the transmission is still in progress and which may not be stored long-term, whereas in a process described using the term downloading, this would imply that the data is only usable when it has been received in its entirety. [|Chatting]:to converse in a familiar or informal manner Applications:the special use or purpose to which something is put: //a technology having numerous applications never thought of by its inventors.// [|Socialize]:to make social; make fit for life in companionship with others. media type="youtube" key="wu0KAmtZ9_I" width="425" height="350" align="center" =Biblography=
