Come to think of it, the ICT Industry is so unoriginal and lazy when it comes to create technical terminologies so they just steal them from other Industries. For example:
- Hygiene: The state of which a system is up to date with all files and software well organized and operating at optimum performance.
- Daemon: Old English word for Demon. This are programs that run in the background (in Unix systems) that makes everything work for you as the user. For example, when you click "Post", the demon in the back sends this command through the system to have it appear on your facebook wall.
- Virus is suppose to be something that makes people sick. Well its also the name for software created by evil (genius) coders that aims at destroying other software.
- Sandbox used to be that small sand pit in preschool where preschoolers can go play with their toy trucks and build sandcastles.
- Cloud is suppose to be that cluster of water v***r hanging in the sky where rain falls from. Now its a place on the Internet where we can upload to.
- Tablet used to be how medicine was packaged so we can take it with water comfortably. Now its an overgrown phone.
- Cookies: used to be sweet biscuits thats nice with cream coffee but no, its little programs that websites drop in your device to track your browsing behavior.
- Browsing: Used to be looking through magazines or items in a shop without necessarily buying them.
What else?
