What the tech . . . ?
What the tech does that even mean?
It appears time has run out for the humble eye candy.
It’s sad but true.
I never thought that having a good perv at a hottie would ever become super-seated for hot computer graphics.
Alas, there is no more pretty-boy (or girl) eye candy for you. Now it’s all about the extra graphics to make a (Web) page look better. It is good to know though, that some things haven’t changed. You see, as with all excessive steroid use, Less is still More.
And when did PDF turn into a curse word?
Seriously, when did that PDFing happen!
The once humble changer of word documents is, tearfully, not so humble any longer.
These days it’s all about TMI and being photoshopped. The Plug-and-play so you can Rant-and-rave. Honestly, it’s enough to cause my old brain boil and wonder if it’s time to opt-out. Sometimes I feel like I’m in perpetual yoyo-mode, flat out surfin for showstoppers or stressing over becoming unplugged.
So I desperately need your help.
If you are able to share the meanings of one or more of the many modern ( or not so modern) abbreviations out there, please, please let me know and I will add it to the list I am calling . . .
New Age Tech Stuff To Help Us Deal With New Age Tech Brains.
Here’s a few that I've found so far.
URL: A uniform resource locator (abbreviated URL) also known as a web address, (particularly when used with HTTP) is a specific character string that constitutes a reference to a resource. Most web browsers display the URL of a web page above the page in an address bar (thanks Wikipedia! You’re great.)
SEO: Search engine optimization is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical search engines. (Yup - Curtesy of Wikipedia)
ARC: Advanced reader copy. A free, not-quite-final version of a book often distributed to reviewers or book convention attendees. (According to the online Urban Dictionary)
And here are some definitions from www.netlingo.com/top50/common-ecpressions.
