I embrace the new technology and are excited about the possibilities. But I'm rapidly becoming overwhelmed by the number of new terms that need to understand and remember. The latest trend is even more frightening, because it involves no word at all. It is the use of acronyms or initials of almost all aspects of the electronic age. Of course we are all accustomed to using dotcom URL and web or network. Beginning with WWW in a sentence is second nature. We can Google a name and email easily. Many of us connect our our CPU USB or Firewire to connect our HD or MP3. Speaking of cables, which are now also using MIDI, DVI, HDMI, S-Video, RGB, HDTV and that's just for audio and video. How can we continue with that?
How a computer, the most frequent search terms include SSL, SEO. Proxy, Active X, IP addresses, ODBC, EDI, DNS, RAID, BIOS, MPLS, latency, SSID, and PPC. Do you know what each one means or represents? Well, you should and better, because in reality no one will say "Uniform Resource Locator" for URLs or "Domain Name Server" DNS more. Also revolve around Java, messaging snapshot. AOL, Meta, boot, iPod, iTunes, HTML, HTTP, spiders, QWERTY, operating system, PC, SCSI, MySQL, PHP, Simms, Spam, and "i" and "And" all as "electronic commerce." And that's just in the world of computing.
Of course, fax, text and click. Many names have become adjectives. We search Google for PayPal to use a credit card, accept or reject, or spam or phishing Blog anything or anyone. We are proud of our RAM memory, bytes, mega-pixels, site visits, and anything cyber. But inventing new words, such as emoticons, avatars, and in flames. Websites such as MySpace and YouTube have become synonymous with online diaries and personal videos.
My old phone would be pathetic in comparison to what my new mobile phone can do. For example, I can Bluetooth and GPRS network, Wireless LAN, EDGE and Wi-Fi to get MSN, AIM, SMS, MMS and systems that allow me connect to IM, IE, or Yahoo. Of course I use a SIM card for memory, you need a PIN to access, and has a manager COMM. Also has a camera with 1.3 mp. I put the whole thing from the CD, which came into my DVD / CD-ROM on my iMac G4 1 GHz computer RAM a10.4.8 concert with OS 1.5. All this in a phone that not even has a dial tone.
Like the first, enjoy the benefits of our technological world and have many of the newest gadgets. LCD TV HD DVD players, MP3, PDAs, faxes, CDs, caller ID, and MDA. But I'm finding it difficult to keep pace with techno-jargon and the new conditions. I used to think of a favorite as thin paper strip used to keep my place in a book he was reading. Spam was a brand of ham meat. Spiders were insects. Fishing was a hobby. All that has changed forever. And even the original have become confused. HD used to mean "hard" before "high definition "arrived. It is a AAA battery or an auto club? Is the U.S. network, newspaper or a country? Even the word He now stands for a group called Technology Horizons in Education. As you can see, it never ends, accept for this article, which means "a reaction to the initial creation Entropy Language "or, in other words, total chaos. LOL.
