Personal Terminal

PET stands for PErsonal Terminal, but it can also stand for Personal Electronic Terminal. Some even call it the Personal Exploration Terminal. A PET is a handheld device that has countless features, ranging from cell phone and wireless email capabilities to television and database accessing, among other things. PETs are used for personal convenience as well as machinery maintenance with the process of jacking-in.

Jacking In
Jacking In, or Plugging In (in Japan) is the term for connecting a PET to the Cyber Network. This allows the NetNavi to exit the PET and explore the Network either on his own, or to do a chore or carry out an order. Normally, humans are the ones who plug-in, but there have been records of Navis jacking themselves in.
