A kiosk is a small open gazebo or pavilion; a small structure, often open on one or more sides. A kiosk is a cylindrical structure where advertisements are posted. The first kiosk to be used was in 1865, with reference to a newspaper stands

Some vendors operate from kiosks selling small, inexpensive consumables such as newspapers, magazines, lighters, street maps, cigarettes and confections.

Kiosks are known today as traditional freestanding retail booths. With the recent advent of low-cost PC's and the Internet, kiosks are taking on a whole new shape and definition. Kiosks are basically a one-stop information tool.
