Glossary
A program or application that will work on any peripheral devices within a
certain protocol is considered device independent. Dialing a telephone
number is a simple example of a device-independent action -- all telephones
operate under the same protocol, so no matter what brand of telephone you
use, you can always phone home. Device independence ensures that all
Internet-enabled devices -- everything from a Sony Playstation to a
Web-surfing clock radio -- will be able to communicate with each other in
the future.
