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.
Source
a common computer term meaning the point of origination for any number of data items such as files or folders. For example, if a file were to be copied from a computer’s hard disk to a floppy disk, the source directory would be the hard disk while the destination or target would be the floppy. Source is the opposite of target.
