| Bandwidth |
| |
Bandwidth is a measure of frequency range and is typically measured in hertz.
Bandwidth is a central concept in many fields, including information theory,
radio communications, signal processing, and spectroscopy. Bandwidth is related
to channel capacity for information transmission and often the two can be
confused. In particular, in common usage "bandwidth" also refers to data
(information) transmission rates when communicating over certain media or
devices.

| Banner ad |
| |
A web banner or banner ad is a form of advertising on the
World Wide Web. This
form of online advertising entails embedding an advertisement into a
web page. It is
intended to attract traffic to a
website by linking them
to the web site of the
advertiser. The advertisement is constructed from an image (GIF,
JPEG,
PNG),
JavaScript program
or multimedia object employing technologies such as
Java,
Shockwave
or Flash, often
employing animation or sound to maximize presence. Images are usually in a
high-aspect ratio shape (i.e. either wide and short, or tall and narrow) hence
the reference to banners. These images are usually placed on web pages that have interesting
content, such as a newspaper article or an opinion piece. Source: wikipedia.org Online

| Browser |
| |
A web browser is a software application that enables a user to display and
interact with text, images, and other information typically located on a web
page at a website on the
World Wide Web
or a local area network. Text and images on a web page can contain hyperlinks to
other web pages at the same or different website. Web browsers allow a user to
quickly and easily access information provided on many web pages at many
websites by traversing these links. Web browsers format
HTML
information for display, so the appearance of a web page may differ between
browsers.
Some of the web browsers available for personal computers include Internet
Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Netscape, and Opera in order of descending
popularity. Web browsers are the most commonly used type
of HTTP
user agent. Although browsers are typically used to access the World Wide Web,
they can also be used to access information provided by web servers in private
networks or content in file systems.
