"According to research from Nielsen/NetRatings, people are buying cutting-edge technology but often don't understand the terms that describe what their device actually does.
So while 40% of online Britons receive news feeds, 67% did not know that the official term for this service was Really Simple Syndication."
As a part time instructor in computer technology I have found that this is so true. Many of my students are familiar with what I teach but do not know the technical name for it. Of course another interesting thing is that many have heard the terms but do not know what they are. When I introduced Blogs in my class this semester, many had heard the term but did not know what it was. Seems the door goes both ways on this one.
