Newbie

A newcomer to the online world.

Slang for someone who is new to the Internet or a specific aspect of it.

A newcomer to the nets,who reveals his or her inexperience by lack of knowledge of net conventions,netiquette,vocabulary,and know -how.

This is a term used to describe a new user of a technology (especially the Internet). In online chat rooms, some veteran net users who think they're all that and bag of chips like to call anybody who asks an easy question a newbie. Supposedly the term, which originated sometime around 1990, comes from the English public school term, new boy, which refers to someone in their first year of school. If you ever get called a newbie, just shake it off. Everybody has to learn sometime.
