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.
WYSIWYG
(What You See Is What You Get) pronounced wizzy wig, refers to a program that displays data exactly as it will appear when published as a Web page or printed. For example, Web pages are often created using HTML, a code that appears as gibberish to the untrained eye. Of course, the HTML ap-pears as a readable document when actually posted on the Web. To overcome the need to learn HTML, there are many Web design applications that allow a user to create pages in WYSIWYG, bypassing the process of learning the code.
