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.
Spray can
a tool available in a paint program that applies color much like a spray can in the real world. That is, when used, it disperses color sparingly first using a fine mist. To add density, the user must concentrate the application by spraying more in the same area. The concentration of color depends on how quickly the can is swept over the desired surface while using a mouse.
