Bluethoot,skype,imo.who knows d meaning

Those are not acronyms. Just names that the creators came up with. However, I do know that Bluetooth was based on a Danish king who liked to eat blueberries. The others, well the founders usually have an origin of some sort.

Third Generation. As in 3rd Generation of telecommunications technology.

9jatatafo:
WI-FI, Virus, Google and Computer don't add up though but we have lot of geeks in this forum

You're right. None of those are acronyms. Even Wi-Fi doesn't mean wireless fidelity, as said. It actually has no meaning. It was just chosen for its catchiness and it's similarity to Hi-fi (which means high fidelity). It was coined by Interbrand. They were simply looking for a nice sounding name.

ademoladeji:
3G nko?
4G too?

4th Generation (of mobile telecom technology).
