Negative Reinforcement
Encouraging a correct behavior by punishing any behaviors
other than it. An example is putting a child into "time
out" after she throws a tantrum. According to most adult
learning research negative reinforcement is not recommended
for most adult learning situations. Why not? A set of electrodes
pluged into the serial port of my computer would have me trying
extra hard at test time!
Netiquette
Stands for "Internet etiquette". Refers to the commonly
accepted rules of behavior and communication in e-mails, chat
rooms, bulletin boards, etc. For example, proper netiquette
is to not use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS in messages because this
is the equivalent of shouting. GOT IT?!
Netscape Navigator
The brand of Internet browser developed by Netscape. The second
most popular browser after Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

Network

share resources.
