I was having coffee in the garden with my wife and the neighbours when the conversation turned to my morning's work.
My wife was mystified by the fact that I was writing an article on
fishing
, even more so by the fact that it was spelt
phishing
.
This wasn’t the only term that confused her.
Malware
she thought was a sort of tableware and
Bluetooth
a form of cosmetic dentistry.
Podcasts
completely baffled her but she imagined it to be a kind of modern ceramics.
She thought
blogging
whatever it is must be something clumsy and as for
trojans
- she just gave up.
Not being in a very helpful mood I left them wondering.
"I must go" I said, "I need to defrag my computer and to sort out my flash drives."
