INTERNET TERM OF THE WEEK
The internet is racing through the cyber-universe at the speed of light, shifting, morphing, and evolving even as we speak. It is difficult for anyone to keep up, let alone old “Mentor Mama”.
One of the areas that reflects the rapidity of this change is the cyber-vocabulary. A primary obstacle to keeping up, understanding the “native” language is vital to implementing the latest technology.
That is why I am including an internet term of the week. I hope you find this helpful, but most of all I hope you have some fun!
