"Not since Dr. Johnson explained the English language to the people
of his time has there been a lexicon so witty, deep and
indispensable. For any citizen of either the analog or -digital
space who wishes to live in this century instead of the last, this
is required reading."
Stanley Bing, author and columnist for FORTUNE magazine Bug--A
minor glitch in computer software or hardware that often results in
major problems for the user or owner. According to legend, the
first bug to cause system malfunction was a moth caught in one of
the relays of a Mark II computer at Harvard shortly after World War
II. Podcast--Audio or video programming automatically downloaded
from the Internet onto a portable MP3 player, such as the Apple
iPod, for listening or viewing on the go. Thumbing--A method of
texting on a portable device, such as a cell phone, by typing with
one or both thumbs. Frazzing--Frenzied multitasking, as occurs when
the combined output of cell phone, PDA, and laptop overwhelms the
processing power of the human brain. Web--The abbreviated name of
the World Wide Web, also often shortened to www. In Chinese, the
Web is called the wan wei wang, meaning "ten thousand-dimensional
net." The technology revolution is also a revolution in -language,
with new words created seemingly every day. And along with a new
vocabulary comes the mortifying fear of being out of the loop.
Control + Alt + Delete is a reference book that will inform and
entertain you while decoding the fast-changing language of
high-tech -culture.
