all the pages are active, so you can click from page to page and change the
"walls" of your virtual Web room. If you see something that catches your
interest, you can use the zoom feature to enlarge the "wall" so that it becomes
a traditional page viewed on your flat screen. 3GThird generation mobile phone network. 3GLThird-generation programming language is a high-level computer programming language that tends to be more machine-independent and programmer-friendly than the machine code of the first-generation and assembly languages of the second-generation. 3GPP3rd Generation Partnership Project, is a group of telecommunications organizations that was formed to design the standards for a global 3G wireless communications network. 3NFThird Normal Form, is a database schema design approach for relational databases which uses normalizing principles to reduce the duplication of data, avoid data anomalies, ensure referential integrity, and simplify data management. 4G4G is the fourth generation of broadband mobile phone / cellular network technology. 4GLFourth-generation computer programming language, are closer to human language than other high-level languages and are accessible to people without formal training as programmers. They allow multiple common operations to be performed with a single programmer-entered command. 5G5G is the fifth generation of broadband mobile phone / cellular network technology. 5GLFifth-generation programming language, is any programming language based on problem-solving using constraints given to the program, rather than using an algorithm written by a programmer. 24/7Used to describe a service, such as computer server monitoring or helpdesk.
