Glossary Entry: USB

Quick Definition

This acronym stands for Universal Service Bus, which is a popular type of connector used in all sorts of electronics.

Your computer likely has several USB ports somewhere on it for you to attach useful devices to your computer like your keyboard, mouse, external hard drives, desktop missile launcher, and miniature frying pan.

And yes, those last two things do exist and are available from geeky novelty catalogs.
