When we were young :
- Waterfall really meant a scenic location with "the water falling down" now its a software development model.
- Java actualy meant coffee now its a programming language.
- Bean was something to eat , now its a data holder.
- Crawling was supposed to be done by babies , now its done by search engines.
- Browsing was meant to be a type of predation, now its done sitting on chair infront of computer
- Surfing was an act of riding down a breaking wave, now its an act of getting back ache and RSI.
- Mail was supposed to be handwritten piece of paper , now its handtypped piece of zeros and ones Greeting card never expired after 30 days !
- Bug was something to kill, now its something to "resolve".
- "Windows" were transparent openings in a wall for wind and light
- "DOORS" were used to screen areas of a building for aesthetic purposes
- ANTs were meant to be social hardworking insects
- SPRING had nothing to do with computers, it really meant a SEASON
I wonder how many words IT industry is going to adapt and change their meaning forever.
