In computer technology and telecommunication, online and offline are defined by Federal Standard 1037C.[citation needed] They are states or conditions of a "device or equipment" or of a "functional unit". To be considered online, one of the following may apply to a system: it is under the direct control of another device; it is under the direct control of the system with which it is associated; or it is available for immediate use on demand by the system without human intervention.[citation needed]
In contrast, a device that is offline meets none of these criteria (e.g., its main power source is disconnected or turned off, or it is off-power).
The Oxford dictionary defines "online" (sometimes also referenced as "On the Line") as "controlled by or connected to a computer" and as an activity or service which is "available on or performed using the Internet or other computer network".[1] The term is utilized within terms such as these: "online identity", "online predator", "online gambling", "online shopping", "online banking", and "online learning". The online context is given to other words by the prefixes "cyber" and "e", as in the words "cyberspace", "cybercrime", "email", and "ecommerce".[2]
Antecedents[edit]
During the 19th century, the term "on line" was commonly used in both the railroad and telegraph industries. For railroads, a signal box would send a messages down the line (track), via a telegraph line (cable), indicating the track's status: "Train on line" or "Line clear".[3] Telegraph linemen would refer to sending current through a line as "direct on line" or "battery on line";[4] or they may refer to a problem with the circuit as being "on line", as opposed to the power source or end-point equipment.[5]
Examples[edit]
Offline email[edit]
One example of a common use of these concepts with email is a mail user agent (MUA) that can be instructed to be in either online or offline states. One such MUA is Microsoft Outlook. When online it will attempt to connect to mail servers (to check for new mail at regular intervals, for example), and when offline it will not attempt to make any such connection. The online or offline state of the MUA does not necessarily reflect the connection status between the computer on which it is running and the Internet. That is, the computer itself may be online—connected to Internet via a cable modem or other means—while Outlook is kept offline by the user, so that it makes no attempt to send or to receive messages. Similarly, a computer may be configured to employ a dial-up connection on demand (as when an application such as Outlook attempts to make connection to a server), but the user may not wish for Outlook to trigger that call whenever it is configured to check for mail.[6]
Offline media playing[edit]
Another example of the use of these concepts is digital audio technology. A tape recorder, digital audio editor, or other device that is online is one whose clock is under the control of the clock of a synchronization master device. When the sync master commences playback, the online device automatically synchronizes itself to the master and commences playing from the same point in the recording. A device that is offline uses no external clock reference and relies upon its own internal clock. When a large number of devices are connected to a sync master it is often convenient, if one wants to hear just the output of one single device, to take it offline because, if the device is played back online, all synchronized devices have to locate the playback point and wait for each other device to be in synchronization.[7] (For related discussion, see MIDI timecode, word sync, and recording system synchronization.)
Offline browsing[edit]
Main article: Offline browsing
A third example of a common use of these concepts is a web browser that can be instructed to be in either online or offline states. The browser attempts to fetch pages from servers while only in the online state. In the offline state, users can perform offline browsing, where pages can be browsed using local copies of those pages that have previously been downloaded while in the online state. This can be useful when the computer is offline and connection to the Internet is impossible or undesirable. The pages are downloaded either implicitly into the web browser's own cache as a result of prior online browsing by the user or explicitly by a browser configured to keep local copies of certain web pages, which are updated when the browser is in the online state, either by checking that the local copies are up-to-date at regular intervals or by checking that the local copies are up-to-date whenever the browser is switched to the online state. One such web browser capable of being explicitly configured to download pages for offline browsing is Internet Explorer. When pages are added to the Favourites list, they can be marked to be "available for offline browsing". Internet Explorer will download to local copies both the marked page and, optionally, all of the pages that it links to. In Internet Explorer version 6, the level of direct and indirect links, the maximum amount of local disc space allowed to be consumed, and the schedule on which local copies are checked to see whether they are up-to-date, are configurable for each individual Favourites entry.[8][9][10][11]
For communities that lack adequate Internet connectivity—such as developing countries, rural areas, and prisons—offline information stores such as the eGranary Digital Library (a collection of approximately thirty million educational resources from more than two thousand web sites and hundreds of CD-ROMs) provide offline access to information. Numerous organizations have developed, or are developing, flash memory chips with collections of educational materials for offline use in smartphones, tablets, and laptops.[citation needed]
Offline storage[edit]
Likewise, offline storage is computer data storage that is not "available for immediate use on demand by the system without human intervention." Additionally, an otherwise online system that is powered down may be considered offline.
Offline messages[edit]
With the growing communication tools and media, the words offline and online are used very frequently. If a person is active over a messaging tool and is able to accept the messages it is termed as online message and if the person is not available and the message is left to view when the person is back, it is termed as offline message. In the same context, the person's availability is termed as online and non availability is termed as offline
Generalizations[edit]
Online and offline distinctions have been generalized from computing and telecommunication into the field of human interpersonal relationships. The distinction between what is considered online and what is considered offline has become a subject of study in the field of sociology.[12]
The distinction between online and offline is conventionally seen as the distinction between computer-mediated communication and face-to-face communication (e.g., face time), respectively. Online is virtuality or cyberspace, and offline is reality (i.e., Real life or meatspace). Slater states that this distinction is "obviously far too simple".[12] To support his argument that the distinctions in relationships are more complex than a simple dichotomy of online versus offline, he observes that some people draw no distinction between an online relationship, such as indulging in cybersex, and an offline relationship, such as being pen pals. He argues that even the telephone can be regarded as an online experience in some circumstances, and that the blurring of the distinctions between the uses of various technologies (such as PDA versus mobile phone, Internet television versus Internet, and telephone versus Voice over Internet Protocol) has made it "impossible to use the term online meaningfully in the sense that was employed by the first generation of Internet research".[12]
Slater asserts that there are legal and regulatory pressures to reduce the distinction between online and offline, with a "general tendency to assimilate online to offline and erase the distinction," stressing, however, that this does not mean that online relationships are being reduced to pre-existing offline relationships. He conjectures that greater legal status may be assigned to online relationships (pointing out that contractual relationships, such as business transactions, online are already seen as just as "real" as their offline counterparts), although he states it to be hard to imagine courts awarding palimony to people who have had a purely online sexual relationship. He also conjectures that an online/offline distinction may be seen by people as "rather quaint and not quite comprehensible" within 10 years.[12]
This distinction between online and offline is sometimes inverted, with online concepts being used to define and to explain offline activities, rather than (as per the conventions of the desktop metaphor with its desktops, trash cans, folders, and so forth) the other way around. Several cartoons appearing in The New Yorker have satirized this. One includes Saint Peter asking for a username and a password before admitting a man into Heaven. Another illustrates "the off-line store" where "All items are actual size!", shoppers may "Take it home as soon as you pay for it!", and "Merchandise may be handled prior to purchase!"[13][14]

Surfing the Internet is a term typically used to describe an undirected type of web of browsing where users whimsically follow one interesting link to another without a planned search strategy or definite objective. Surfing the net has become a popular pastime, for many Internet users.Surfing the Internet' is not to be confused with the phrase 'browsing the Internet' which refers to exploring the web with a clear-cut objective but without any planned search strategies. Searching the web refers to exploring the Internet with a definite in both strategy and objective.Surfing the Internet has been likened to the ironic term 'channel surfing', which is used to describe randomly changing TV channels. Its only relation to actual surfboarding has to do with the notion of 'going with flow' when surfing.Jean Armour Polly is credited with the first published use of the phrase. She used it in an article titled 'surfing the Internet' that was published, in the June 1992 issue of the monthly magazine, Wilson Library Bulletin.Polly was also key in popularizing the phrase; she maintains that she purposefully wanted it to have the exact connotation it currently has. Coining the phrase has since been attributed to Internet pioneer Mark McCahill.

This is the new GO-TO plan for Copyright.
The Brock policy is en route to the Board of Directors, hopefully to be approved March 1, 2013.
Based on the recently assented Copyright Modernization Act
Section 29.1 Criticism & Review
Section 29.2 News Reporting
Now includes the very BROAD umbrella for EDUCATION.
As such AUCC is drafting a fair dealing policy, which Brock is using to inform our policy.
Note that contracts and licencing agreements may over-ride fair dealing. Also if there are any technological protection measures ("locks"- DRM) fair dealing does not apply.
Other than that, provided that you give credit (in cases of criticism, review, news reporting), the work is not "substantial", and you don't make a profit, I have to say it is a very flexible approach to fair dealing.
Short excerpts are now allowed for both in class and LMS distribution. This includes a single article from a journal, a single chapter from a book, an entry from an encyclopedia, an entire piece of artwork from a collection of artwork, an entire newspaper article, an entire poem or score from compilation of poems or scores. For music, sound, television, film, video, provided that the portion is not more than 10% of the entire piece.
Interestingly, the act of posting something on the Internet without an expressed written notice prohibiting reuse and there are not any digital locks on the content, you can assume that you have the consent of the poster; you are now allowed to use the material provided you give credit.
If you need more than 10%, you'll have to either see if Access Copyright can cover your needs, or you may request a policy over-ride, wherein you will need to make the case based on the purpose, quantity, character, nature, alternatives and impact.
