Words and Their Stories: Computer Terms

Computer technology has become a major part of people's lives. This technology has its
own special words. One example is the word mouse, which is not a little animal
considered by many a plague, but a small device that you move around on a flat surface,
moving the pointer, also called the cursor, on a computer screen. It was developed in the
early 60’s by the computer expert Douglas Engelbart. Do you know that the first computer
mouse was a carved block of wood with two metal wheels? And he named it a “mouse”
because it had a tail at one end, that was the wire connecting it to the computer.
But using a computer and understanding its complexity takes some time and training.
And the people who are experts and sometimes use this knowledge to do evil stuff are
called hackers. They usually write software programs in a special computer language in
an attempt to steal information from computer systems. It is not the same as spam -
unwanted messages triggered to your electronic mailbox.
Another well known computer word is google, one of the most popular search
engines for the Internet that people use to find information about almost any subject. Its
name refers, in mathematics, to googol, which is an extremely large number (the number
one followed by one-hundred zeros). So, when you "Google" a subject, you can get a large
amount of information about it.
A vlog is the shortened name for web video log. It may contain stories, comments,
pictures, comedy videos and links to other Web sites, which these vloggers can feed every
day. More recently, we have youtubers and tik-tokers.
So these are some examples of technical terms related to technology! Let’s dig some
more!!!
