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.

Undo

a command included in many word processing and graphics software appli-cations that allows a user to eliminate or reverse the last action. For example, say you.ve just applied a moustache to the Mona Lisa with your new paint program. You then decide you like the painting better the way it was originally. With a click of the undo button or command, the moustache is gone. In many Windows compatible programs, pressing the Ctrl and Z keys together will ac-complish the same thing as the undo feature.
