Electronic mail, or email, is a method of exchanging digital messages between people using digital devices such as computers and mobile phones.

Email first entered substantial use in the 1960s and by the mid-1970s had taken the form now recognized as email.

Email operates across computer networks, which today is primarily the Internet.

Some early email systems required the author and the recipient to both be online at the same time, in common with instant messaging.

Today's email systems are based on a store-and-forward model.

Email servers accept, forward, deliver, and store messages.

Neither the users nor their computers are required to be online simultaneously; they need to connect only briefly, typically to a mail server or a webmail interface, for as long as it takes to send or receive messages.

An application program (app or application for short) is a computer program designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user.

Examples of an application include a word processor, a spreadsheet, an accounting application, a web browser, a media player, an aeronautical flight simulator, a console game or a photo editor.

The collective noun application software refers to all applications collectively.

This contrasts with system software, which is mainly involved with running the computer.

A computer monitor or a computer display is an electronic visual display for computers.

A monitor usually comprises the display device, circuitry, casing, and power supply.

The display device in modern monitors is typically a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) or a flat panel LED display, while older monitors used a cathode ray tubes (CRT).

It can be connected to the computer via VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, Thunderbolt, LVDS (Low-voltage differential signaling) or other proprietary connectors and signals.

A document is a written, drawn, presented, or memorialized representation of thought.

The word originates from the Latin documentum, which denotes a "teaching" or "lesson": the verb doceō denotes "to teach".

In the past the word was usually used to denote a written proof useful as evidence of a truth or fact.

In the computer age, "document" usually denotes a primarily textual computer file, including its structure and format, e.

g.

fonts, colors, and images.

Contemporarily, "document" is not defined by its transmission medium, e.

g., paper, given the existence of electronic documents.

"Documentation" is distinct because it has more denotations than "document".

Documents are also distinguished from "realia", which are 3 dimensional objects that would otherwise satisfy the definition of "document" because they memorialize or represent thought; documents are considered more as 2 dimensional representations.

Online chat may refer to any kind of communication over the Internet that offers a real-time transmission of text messages from sender to receiver.

Chat messages are generally short in order to enable other participants to respond quickly.

Thereby, a feeling similar to a spoken conversation is created, which distinguishes chatting from other text-based online communication forms such as Internet forums and email.

Online chat may address point-to-point communications as well as multicast communications from one sender to many receivers and voice and video chat, or may be a feature of a web conferencing service.
