Internet slang is also known as computer slang, slang terms, acronyms, abbreviations and computer lingo.
'acronyms'
"What is it called when letters are substituted for words, i.e., LOL stands for Laugh out loud?"
They are everywhere and they are called 'acronyms'! An acronym was originally a pronounceable word made from the initial letters of other words. For example, NATO for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. As acronyms have invaded our lives more and more we have started to coin other shorthand versions such as TV for Television, USA for United States of America, IOU for I Owe You (a debt), MD for Medical Doctor, or CEO for Chief Executive Officer which are not acronyms in the original sense of being a 'new pronounceable word' made up of the first letters but which we still pull into our bulging bag of acronyms. 
Acronyms are often used as mnemonics, a device for helping you remember something. You'll often see this sort of usage in training manuals and self-help manuals.
An illustration of this sort of acronym would be one that I found on a quick trawl of the Internet; taking the word 'HOPE' as an acronym for 'Hanging Onto Positive Expectations'. You may remember other similar acronyms from your school days designed to help you remember a spelling rule, historical event or math equation. I remember, for example, ROYGBIV, a mnemonic acronym for remembering the colors of the rainbow - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet - a pretty senseless sounding acronym but one that has stuck in my mind since I was around seven years old! But where acronyms have really exploded and become a sub-language of their own is through text messaging, the Internet and email where the 'need for speed' has led to the creation of hundreds of new acronyms that are used globally by millions of people. Your example, LOL for 'Laugh Out Loud' is one of the most used of these Internet acronyms. Here is a list of some of the other common Internet acronyms used in emails, SMS and text messaging. Hope it helps, CU!

2. Use - Learn how the slang is used.
Where are you right now? In your home? At school? Because you are using the Internet, you are probably somewhere with other people nearby. But there are many places in the world that are much quieter. Places with no Internet, no cars, and very few people. These places are called the middle of nowhere.
The middle of nowhere describes places on Earth that seem very far away from other people and technology. Do you like camping? If you do, you wouldn’t want to camp right next to your house. You would want to be in the middle of nowhere. Or, if you live in a small town, you might think it is in the middle of nowhere because you would rather live in a big city like New York.
Singer Lorde says that her home country, New Zealand, is in in the middle of nowhere. Even though New Zealand is a big country, it is very far away from the rest of the world. Since Lorde’s favorite music comes from other parts of the world, she thinks New Zealand is in the middle of nowhere.
When is the last time you were in the middle of nowhere? Where were you?
Examples
1. Examples - Hear some example sentences.
“My college was in the middle of nowhere. There was no city within 100 miles.”
“We went camping in the middle of nowhere. The stars were amazing.”
“I grew up in the middle of nowhere, so I had to come live in the city.”
