The terms were different :-)

It was true that the terms we used today, were meant for different things, long back. Computers and Internet changed the life in an unpredictable way. I like the below forward mail.

I wish if the terms are reverted back :-)

25 years ago......

A program was a television show
An application was for employment
Windows were something u hated to clean
A cursor used profanity
Keyboard was a piano
Memory was something u lost with age
A CD was a bank account
If u unzipped in public u went to jail
Compress was something u did to garbage
A hard drive was a long trip on the road
Log on was adding wood to fire
A backup happened to your toilet
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
Cut, u did with scissors
Paste, u did with glue
A web was a spider's home
A Monitor was someone who used to keep watch on classmates in absence of teacher
A Desktop was desk's top surface.
And a virus was the flu!

Time surely has changed ………………
