Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Mode
the operational state of a piece of computer hardware or software. For ex-ample, if a Windows user thought she was about to experience a hard disk malfunction, (in many cases the computer would actually tell the user that hard disk failure was eminent) she would open Windows in the safety mode and be sure to backup all important files before having a technician examine the ma-chine.
