Writer Reid Goldsborough did a story for Entrepreneur.com on using specific Lingo for a techno age.
In it he talks about the way “information technology has changed the way we work and play, it has also changed the way we speak, with new computer-related words and slang coming into existence as frequently as new computer viruses.”
Of course these new technologies also introduce new words into the vernacular as well as specialized abbreviations and acronyms. Reid goes on to say that. “Buzzwords, jargon, and acronyms can condense complicated concepts into shorthand words and phrases, saving time. They can shed light on where our culture is headed. They can separate the insiders from the outsiders. They can tell you what your kids are saying to one another while instant messaging or texting.”
