Abstract

Given that the predominant communication is on the Internet and the use of new technologies, the
knowledge of common terms in the field, as well as the actual use of these technologies can often become
overwhelming. What does Word Wide Web (WWW) mean, URL, source code, object code, software, portal,
search engine, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, web-blog, online credibility, electronic harassment, phishing, cyber
violence, hacking, etc.? That is why we intend, in the current document, to clarify some questions regarding the
knowledge of the field and the terms used, in order to better understand the virtual phenomenon and its forms of
manifestation. We intend to present a short glossary of terms and expressions, with explanations and examples.
The documentary material will then be presented to the entire academic community and, in particular, to the
students, the priority recipients of the scientific activity.
