Today's technological words are the subject of my interest this week. It is interesting that in the past decade we have invented numerous technological words such as, blog (and all of its uses, blogging, blogged, bloggers), google (and its uses, googled...), i-anything (iPod, iPhone, iTunes), and so many more. These words that we invent have become well known words and even daily used verbs. Even movies and TV are using these words. If we could go back in time, I would like to tell someone, "oh yeah, I just googled that today" and watch their response.
Wikipedia (which is also a new word with many uses), defines google as is an American public corporation, earning revenue from advertising related to its Internet search, e-mail, online mapping, office productivity, social networking, and video sharing services as well as selling advertising-free versions of the same technologies. When we use the word google, we don't think of what it really is. This is because it has become a word in our actual vocabulary; we don't need to think of its definition to use any tense of the word.
Our speech is being created and defined daily by the new technologies we receive. Language is added to in every decade and there is no doubt by the progress of our language today that we are the decade of technology. Microsoft Word must have a hard time keeping up with all the new words we are adding.
