Forgive us please. We don't mean to. Each industry has its unique language. The more technical the industry, the worse it is. Most of the technical industries don't affect us the way the computer industry does.
Computers are everywhere and more are going to be present each day.
We notice this industry more because we don't talk about other technical industries as often. In short, it's information. That is why it was created. It was meant to reliably transmit information between locations. Today it huge, helpful, confusing, and useful.
