Similar to how the term ‘digital’ has shifted from doing numeric calculations and storage to how it’s used today, referring to content you purchase and stream or download from the internet.
Terminology changes over time, and I’m not sure that I like some of the changes. 🤷
yeah, but i only swim in technical circles and ive never, ever heard a general compute device referred to as ‘dummy’. ever. not even machines that only run an app that connects to a mainframe essentially turning into a dummy.
that said, im old. i had a rather technical coworker ask me for clarification when i made a napster reference. the young determine the language.
now get off my lawn.
Upvoted for get off my lawn 😂🤣
