A picture capturing what is being displayed on your computer has which name?

A screenshot (also known as screen capture or screen grab) is a digital image that shows the contents of a computer display. A screenshot is created by the operating system or software running on the device powering the display.

The first screenshots were created with the first interactive computers around 1960. Through the 1980s, computer operating systems did not universally have built-in functionality for capturing screenshots. Sometimes text-only screens could be dumped to a text file, but the result would only capture the content of the screen, not the appearance, nor were graphics screens preservable this way.

Very badly worded question

Julie Allen

I knew what the answer was before I worked out what the question was asking.

Welcome to English As A Second Language! That question was so badly worded that I had to read it three times to cypher its meaning!

John Fausset, Break; what break?

John Fausset, A break from Lilly? When did that happen?

Louella Wilson

I don't understand all the fuss about the wording. English is my second language, and I knew the answer immediately.

Kitty White

Lose Lilly.

Elsy O. Stromberg, Her inventory of 2360 questions can provide half of the questions in 118 sets of 10 questions in each set and she continually adds more questions; and many sets have fewer than 5 questions. It appears that we'll see her questions for quite awhile.

Elsy O. Stromberg, Because nobody other that clones are submitting questions

Yeah no.A screen shot is a picture of the picture/item that one is looking at on the computer. 100% agree with others in saying that this is a badly worded or phrased Question.
