 Pixel | One of the small elements that make up an image on a monitor screen (similar to a pica used in printing). There are 72 dots per inch on a monitor screen.
Although a pixel can be measured as the diameter of the microscopic point on a screen which emits (or reflects) light, the term is not typically used for measurement. Unlike inches, Centimeter, Miles or Kilometers, "Pixel" is intended to convey the abstract location of a point. Think of "pixel" more as a point on a map or map coorditate. If you point to street intersection on a city map, your intention is not to measure the width of the street at that point but rather to convey a location. The actual pin-point of the intersection is infinitely small and of no value to someone giving or receiving driving directions.
So it is with Pixels. We're less interested in the size of a point of light than we are in how many such points there are on a device, how they are arranged and how well they can render a photo or some text for us to look at.
