Good work
Keep it up

ATM-- asynchronous transfer mode

[Nedian]

ATM = Automated Teller Machine


thx I M Possible n Hafeez for ur intrest , i think we should also start the Inventors and their Inventions in next Thread.

[amjad hafeez]

i don,t know about what you have written about ATM but i have studied it in electronics book.
we will start inventions and discoveries thread soon.
Regards

[Nedian]

u r right in ur case but i think we all know the machine outside any bank from where we draw our money. tht's ATM. and its abbreviation is given above. i think u must got it now.

Regards

Nedian

[amjad hafeez]

Both of them are right.One can prove it easily by writing"What is ATM?" in google search

[Nedian]

yes both r absolutely right. ok lets get back to business now.


GPS = Global Positioning System.

GSM = Global System for Mobiles

GIS = Geographic Information System

GCS = Global Communication SYstem

GPRS = Global Personal Recovery System.

[MUKHTIAR ALI]

An automated teller machine or automatic teller machine (ATM) is a computerized telecommunications device that provides a financial institution's customers a secure method of performing financial transactions in a public space without the need for a human clerk or bank teller. It is incorrect and redundant for one to say "ATM machine" because the "M" in ATM stands for machine.

Using an ATM, customers can access their bank accounts in order to make cash withdrawals (or credit card cash advances) and check their account balances. Many ATMs also allow people to deposit cash or checks, transfer money between their bank accounts, pay bills, or purchase goods and services.

An ATM is also known, in English, as Automated Banking Machine, Money machine, Bank Machine (Canada), Cash Machine (New Zealand, UK, Minnesota), Hole-In-The-Wall (New Zealand, UK) or Cashpoint (New Zealand, UK). Despite the wide usage of the term "ATM Machine", the word "machine" is redundant.
