Sometimes I wonder if one person, a typewriter and a filing cabinet in 1957 accomplished about as much as a fully staffed present day office building using the newest technology:
Most office workers find computer jargon as difficult to understand as a foreign language, a survey suggests. Three quarters of workers waste more than an hour a week deciphering what a technical term means, the poll found. Terms such as jpeg, javascript and cookies are among the problem words highlighted by firm Computer People.Seeing as we each spend two hours a week rebooting, three cursing as the operating system crashes and about as much wandering aimlessly through the internet, it is amazing that anything is produced at all anymore.
