I was staring at my computer screen this morning, and I started to think about how some of the terms we use daily have changed over the last few years.

• A cursor used to be a foul-mouthed person.
• A poster used to be a picture on your bedroom wall. (Mine were of Rob Lowe and the other Brat Packers.)
• Rip used to be a hole in your jeans.
• Burn meant that you set fire to something.
• A tweet was a sound a birdie made.
• A browser was someone who did a lot of window-shopping in a bricks and mortar store.
• Backup was a direction.
• A chip was potato, corn, chocolate, or diamond.
• FAT was the opposite of thin.
• Hertz was a car rental company.
• Memory was a treasured thought from the past.
• A button was a fastener for clothes.
• A radio button was plastic, and it was a knob on an AM/FM device.
• SPAM was food in a can.
• TWAIN was an American writer.
• A virus was something you went to the doctor for.
• A worm was bait.
• Windows were made of glass.

It's too hot to go outside here on the east coast. I hope you're somewhere cool. Find a good book or movie!
