SneakerNet definition - hacker
Jargon term for the method of transmitting electronic
information by personally carrying it from one place to another on floppy disk
or on some other removable medium, such as tapes or memory sticks. The idea is
that someone is using his or her shoes (possibly sneakers) rather than the
telecommunications network to quickly move data around.
