Glossary of ICT and Internet Terms

This section is aimed to help those who are new to the technology, to explain in as simple a language as possible the many technical terms and jargon one is most likely to encounter in this field.

It is not aimed to be totally comprehensive and certainly not exhaustive. The entries are as concise and as straight to the point as possible.New entries may appear from time to time, so do re-visit the section occasionally.
