dbpprop:abstract
  • The terms online and offline (also on-line and off-line) have specific meanings with respect to computer technology and telecommunication. In general, "online" indicates a state of connectivity, while "offline" indicates a disconnected state. In common usage, "online" often refers to the Internet or the World Wide Web. The concepts have however been extended from their computing and telecommunication meanings into the area of human interaction and conversation, such that even offline can be used in contrast to the common usage of online (e.g. , "I bought those Marcus Fenix figurines offline"). Another usage runs contrary to the expected meaning: 'offline' as "from an online source", e.g. "I bought my textbook from Amazon" = "I got it offline".
