Online

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Online means on the internet. For example, games like Toontown are online.

Online can also mean that something is set up correctly and ready to what it is susposed to do. For example:

  • A computer printer is online if it has electricity, is turned on, is connected to the computer and has paper in it. Once each of those things is true, then the printer is online and ready to print.
  • A government program is online when it has the equipment and people it needs to do whatever job it was created to do.

If something is not online, it is offline.
