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.
Thumbnail

When viewing images such as photos and clipart stored on a CD-ROM or floppy disk, the user is sometimes shown a smaller sample (preview) that allows her to either continue on through the samples, or enlarge the preview image to display the entire graphic. 2. on a Web page, a small image that contains a hyperlink. When clicked with a mouse, the image is enlarged.
