iPod- a family of extremely popular digital music players from Apple introduced in 2001 for the Mac and in 2002 for Windows. iPods were noted for their user interface that featured a circular scroll wheel, which later became touch sensitive and clickable.
IPv6- (Internet Protocol Version 6) the next generation IP protocol. Started in 1991, the specification was completed in 1997 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). IPv6 is backward compatible with and is designed to fix the shortcomings of IPv4, such as data security and maximum number of user addresses. IPv6 increases the address space from 32 to 128 bits, providing for an unlimited (for all intents and purposes) number of networks and systems. It also supports quality of service (QoS) parameters for realtime audio and video. Originally called "IP Next Generation" (IPng), IPv6 is expected to slowly replace IPv4, with the two existing side by side for many years.
IRC- (Internet Relay Chat) an online chat system that allows users to communicate in realtime anywhere in the world. What makes ICR unique is it’s ability to accommodate more than two users at one time.
ISDN- (Integrated Services Digital Network) a standard used for the transmission of digital data including voice and video signals over telephone wires without a modem at a significantly faster speed.
ISP- a company that provides customers with a connection to the Internet. see Internet Service Provider.
IT- (Information Technology) the study and implementation of computers for communications purposes. This is a rapidly growing field with a wide range of opportunities. There is hardly a modern medium, to large-size business in existence without an IT officer and department to oversee the processing and management of electronic information of all types.
iteration- a computer processor’s single cycle through a group of programming instructions. see loop.
