One of the biggest complaints I hear from people when it comes to technology is that they don’t understand it and no one speaks to them in plain English. It is all technospeak and acronyms that leave their palms sweaty with inadequacy and fear. While technology can be maddening, especially when it doesn’t work, it is a fact of life especially in business.
One of the things I pride myself on when I work with clients is that I will speak to them in language they can understand. I tell people up front - if you don’t understand, please ask. I will explain it as many ways as I need to so they can feel comfortable with their level of understanding. I hate when people try to pull the wool over my eyes with terms and things I don’t understand and I refuse to do that with people I work with.
So, I wanted to start a little mini-series here on the blog where I get back to basics. I will take different Internet technology terms and break them down into plain English. For some of you it might seem a little elementary or simplistic. That’s ok… I can tell you that the best way to learn anything is to have to explain it to others. That is why I never mind going back to the basics because even after over a dozen years working behind the scenes of the web, I benefit from the challenge. It is like being a musician, it always pays to continually go back and practice major and minor scales.
If you have a term or technology you want explained in this series, just contact me and let me know. I’ll be happy to write a post about it. And, if you want to keep track of the series in one place, just click on the “Web 101″ category on the right sidebar.
