WORLD WIDE WEB
The World Wide Web (WWW) is combination of all resources and users on the Internet that are using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol HTTP.
A broader definition comes from the World Wide Web Consortium W3C:
"The World Wide Web is the universe of network-accessible information, an embodiment of human knowledge."
EMAIL
E-mail (electronic mail) is the exchange of computer-stored messages by telecommunication. (Some publications spell it email; we prefer the currently more established spelling of e-mail.) E-mail messages are usually encoded in ASCII text. However, you can also send non-text files, such as graphic images and sound files, as attachments sent in binary streams. E-mail was one of the first uses of the Internet and is still the most popular use. A large percentage of the total traffic over the Internet is e-mail. E-mail can also be exchanged between online service provider users and in networks other than the Internet, both public and private.
INSTANT MESSAGING

Instant messaging, often shortened to IM or IM'ing, is the exchange of near real-timemessages through a stand-alone application or embedded software. Unlike chat rooms with many users engaging in multiple and overlapping conversations, IM sessions usually take place between two users in a private, back-and-forth style of communication.


VOICE OVER INTERNET PROTOCOLVoIP (voice over IP) is the transmission of voice and multimedia content over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. VoIP historically referred to using IP to connect private branch exchanges (PBXs), but the term is now used interchangeably with IP telephony.
