Are you guilty of using any of these words?
According to this article: http://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/107602/12-words-you-can-never-say-in-the-office.html it is no longer cool to use the following words:
1. Intranet
2. Extranet
3. Web Surfing
4. Push Technology
5. Application Service Provider
6. Personal Digital Assistant
7. Internet Telephony
8. Weblog
9. Thin Client
10. Rboc
11. Long-Distance Call
12. World Wide Web
My friend has a job working for a mobile phone company and she manages their intranet. And the word “Intranet” is in her job description.
Also if someone asks me what I am doing, I still say “Oh, I am just surfing the web.”
And I definitely still do use the term “Long-distance call”. If I call my parents halfway across the world, I say “I’m placing a long-distance call.”
I think the term “World Wide Web” is acceptable as well. After all, you can pretty much assume that a website will start with WWW.
So, how about you? Which words do you still use?
Just Web Surfing..
