bandwidth

n. 1. [common] Used by hackers (in a generalization
of its technical 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 guess." Compare low-bandwidth. 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.
