The premise for this post is about those of us that are old enough to remember a time when we didn't have computers. Along with the advent of computers came a whole new language. At least in part the language was really not new, just that the words we were familiar with were assigned new meanings.
For Example
When someone spoke of Memory, they were usually referring to someone getting old and losing it
The only Applications people knew about were for employment.
Programs spoken about were referring to a TV show
If you were a Curser, watch out for a bar of soap coming your way
If you had a Keyboard someone in the house played the piano
A Monitor was a person that sat in the hallway at school
A Web indicated that the house was not clean or that you had spiders
Look out for the Virus, if someone had it , everyone around them would get sick too
You were considered well off if you has a CD
A Hard drive is what you heard about from visiting relatives that lived out of state
A Mouse Pad was when the rodents had moved in as in, Mi Casa, Su Casa
And for sure, If anyone had a 3 1/2 inch floppy, they just hoped no one would ever find out
Happy Friday !
