Geeky terms that are cooler then they sound …..

The last decade or so has seen IT boom not only in size and figures but also there has been a blasting high in the number of additions to Jargons used . Though geeky jargons are often misleading by their lay man assumptions , but there are quite a few of them which are cooler than they sound .

Here are some terms broken down and explained in the simplest possible way :

Data Analytics : 

This is a perfect example of how IT jargons are deceptive by look . The otherwise boring and dumb appearing term actually defines a cooler process .  It is all about taking into account of all available data and making the best use of it . It can be also explained as “ crunching of data ” or  “ making stuff out of data ” .

This one is really taking a big shape as companies are looking deeper into big data , for utilizations such as using personal history of customers to generate better future transaction results .

Uptime Provision :

This is again something we regularly glaze over . This when included in the service terms means that the customer will be provided with the service as and when required by the individual . This is however a mile’s distance from the lay man conclusion we derive when one encounters it in text .

Wearable Computing :

This again is something that’s going to be big , very big as technology heads towards the Cyborg phase . This is generally used for computing options that come melded physically to humans . Something that instantly trickles in as an example is the Google Glass , as even more intimate relations are being planned , as is a new jargon called “ Humantronics ” .

Fog Computing :

Ok , this one appears a bit cool , but what it actually stands for is , well , foggy . This stands for the next-generation of cloud computing or the next step after the presently dominant “ Full Cloud ” services . To explain , the present cloud set-up requires complete transfer of data to the cloud , as a whole , which reduces infrastructural constraints as well as maintenance billings . But again, this might not sound healthy for individuals . Fog computing refers to moving relevant parts of data to the farthest corner , to make utilization efficient and provide an even cheaper option .

Responsive Design :

This again is something very important for today . As we know , it is incredibly tough to surf age-old websites using our smart phones , with sometimes , users being forced to droll about the large , beyond screen-holding capacity pages , searching frantically for the needful . In today’s era , where smart phones are rapidly coming up as device usage leaders , designers need to have implementations that are friendly for smart phone screens .
