Do you ever hear words today, and realize that they have a different meaning now than what they used to have? Staying just in the IT or technology area, here are just a few of the ones I came up with...
Windows -- panes of glass in your house that allow you to look outside.
Vista -- what you saw when you looked out your windows.
Outlook -- A point of view; an expectation of the future; a place of interest on the highway; etc.
Excel -- to be really good at something.
Hard Drive -- when you tried to drive from Vancouver to Calgary in one day on the hottest day in July, in the 1970 Pontiac with no air-conditioning, with 2 adults, 3 bored-out-of-their-mind kids, and Aunt Bessie in the back seat, who needed to stop for a pee-break every 100 miles.
Mouse -- rodents; vermin. Dead ones are sometimes found in pool skimmers. It's the reason your mother kept the cat even though it vomited on the carpet, and shed all over the place. Cartoon version was known as Mickey.
Tweet -- the sound a birdie makes.
Twitter -- one half of a term used to describe how you felt when the cute boy down the block paid attention to you (as in twitterpated)
