Our connected era depends enormously on information systems: we’d have no banks without servers, no movies without downloads, no jobs (almost) without computers, no websites without coding… So unless you are living underneath a hefty and sizeable rock, you can’t have missed the ever-present terms “Wi-fi”, “Bluetooth”, “Go” or “Ethernet”. But real geeks, the hardcore ones, have a whole other vocabulary at their disposition, which is constantly evolving. Here are a few plays on words that will have you either smiling or slapping your forehead in frustration….
