Plebware™ or Poshware™ is  a true “Friend Of The People”


Introduction

Plebware's Official Glossary


Plebware's Official Glossary is a Wordbook Of:
 Common Plebware Terminology and words.

This concept was conceptualized in 2010.
Which back then, only consisted of one page of definitions on the Internet.

It was decided in 2012 that we needed to put together a PlebDictionary™.

So after much deliberation and planning, we have decided to create one.
This PDF e-book is the result of more than six years of deliberation and planning.

Why would any organisation need such a book? 
Honestly speaking Otto believed that we needed to create a brand for Plebware.
This brand has developed into much more than that.
You could call it a revolution in online culture – PlebCulture™

Firstly I better explain what Plebware is then you will understand what this culture is about.

Plebware was a word coined by Otto Brinkmeier and Jullian De Villiers back in 2006. It was a descriptive word created to describe what we believed and still believe to be,  the third element of the computing circle or triangle, representing the human element.



1. Hardware – The physical components or peripherals of the computer.
2. Software – The programs and applications the make the computer function.
3. Plebware™ – The human element, the operator, the user.

That person that operates the computer. in other words, "You".
Be you a Poshware™ type or a Plebware™ type

            These are exceptionally common on personal or lifestyle sites, 
            where you might notice that the product recommended has a link 
            with a bunch of additional stuff tracked on. That means that if you buy                the product, the blog or site that lead you there...

        (superseded) versions of the same software.
        For example, the Microsoft word-processing program Word 2010
        can read files created in the 2003 version of the same program, 
        so it is backwards compatible.

    Bandwidth

        Bandwidth refers to the maximum amount of data that can
        travel a communications path in a given time, 
        usually measured in seconds.

    Bit

        These words are known as Boolean operators because of their origin 
        as terms in logic.

    Boot (re-boot)

        To boot (or re-boot) is to load and initialise the operating system 
        on a computer. Think of it as starting up your computer. 
        In Windows you can use the key combination 
        CTRL and ALT and DEL as a "soft" boot. 
        This means restarting the computer rather than turning it completely off 
        and on-again, which could cause damage to your computer's hard disk 
        under some circumstances.

    Bounce back

        An email message that cannot be delivered and returns

        The next time you want that page, instead of requesting the file from 
        the web server, your web browser just accesses it from the cache, 
        so the page loads quickly. The downside to this is that if the cached web
         page is often updated, you may miss the latest version.
