Explaining Internet Tech Terms in Plain English

There are so many terms and technical words that are used on the internet, that for many it’s a real put-off. It seems that the people who use the internet constantly, or work in IT have a language all to themselves, that they automatically think the larger audience will understand.

That’s why “Plain English” is so useful. This means putting these new words and concepts into a palatable format for anyone to be able to understand.

A great example of terms explained this way is in this UpOnGoogle’s Internet Glossary. It is still being constructed, and will actually never be completed as it continues to keep abreast of all the latest jingo.

Enjoy.
