What URL really stands for, and other computer terms you should know

Posted by Richard Earle,

There’s a wonderful story in the first paragraph of an article in a recent AOL newsletter about the fellow who didn’t really understand computers, and once complained “I wish they were as easy to use as my telephone.” Well, he got his wish. He no longer knows how to use his telephone.

The rest of the article contains some terms that anyone who uses a computer regularly should be familiar with, and defines them completely. For example, did you know that URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, and http before a site address means hyper-text transfer protocol? These and many other basic terms are explored in this article.
