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.
Super VGA
video graphics with higher resolution than VGA. Display monitors re-ceive instructions from a video card that, among other functions, allow for color display and screen resolution. VGA (Video Gate Array or Video Graph-ics Adapter) was a standard introduced by IBM in the 1980s that had a maxi-mum resolution of 640x480 pixels with 16 colors. Although SVGA features differ according to individual manufacturers, the standard allows for resolu-tions of up to 1600x1200 pixels and color display capabilities from 256 colors to 16 million colors. Standards for video display are reviewed by a number of graph-ics manufacturers known as the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
