Browser

Short for Web browser, a software application used to locate and display Web

pages. Popular browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and

Google Chrome. These are graphical browsers, which means that they can

display graphics as well as text. In addition, most modern browsers can present

multimedia information, including sound and video, though they require plug-ins

for some formats.

Command line

In a command line interface, the user types commands in the space provided

directly on the screen using command language.

Within the Internet industry, cookies are described as small files containing

information about individual computers that can be analyzed and used by

advertisers to track your online interests and tastes. In this realm, cookie

technology is still being developed and the intention is to target ads directly

to what you've said your interests are. It's a double-edge sword for many people

because on one hand, it's efficient and pertinent as you only see ads about

what you're interested in. On the other hand, it involves actually "tracking" and

"following" where you go and what you click. Understandably so, there is a

debate over privacy and many people feel offended by the notion that they are

viewed as a "SKU number" (you know, the bar code on the back of packages

that gets scanned at the grocery check-out line). While this viewpoint may be

extreme, in some cases it is accurate.

Disk drive

It's a machine that reads data from and writes data onto a disk.

A hard disk drive reads and writes hard disks.

A floppy drive accesses floppy disks.

Disk drives can be either internal (housed within a computer) or external (housed

in a separate box that connects to the computer).

Download

To copy data (usually an entire file) from a main source to a peripheral device.

The term is often used to describe the process of copying a file from an online

service to one's own computer. Downloading can also refer to copying a file

from a network file server to a computer on the network.

E-mail

Electronic mail. A service that sends messages on computers via local or global

networks.
