meaning) as the volume of information per unit time that a computer,
person, or transmission medium can handle. “Those are amazing
graphics, but I missed some of the detail — not enough bandwidth, I

brainwidth. This generalized usage began to go
mainstream after the Internet population explosion of 1993-1994. 2. Attention span. 3. On Usenet, a measure of network capacity
that is often wasted by people complaining about how items posted by others
are a waste of bandwidth.

1. BAndwidth
The difference between the limiting frequencies of a continuous frequency band expressed in hertz (cycles per second). The term bandwidth is also loosely used to refer to the rate at which data can be transmitted over a given communications circuit. In the latter usage, bandwidth is usually expressed in either kilobits per second or megabits per second.
