Translation

Those who are not tech literate have their own (fairly consistent) language when refering to technology. Some examples:

UBS's = USB Cables
USB's = USB Flash Memory Storage Devices
Notebook, Nettop = Netbook
Windows = Microsoft Office
Hard Drive = Desktop Computer
Computer = Monitor
The Internet = a Wireless Router
Dellstar = the Ultimate Notebook

In addition, RAM and hard drive capacity are the same thing (if you have enough, quote the higher number; if you want more, quote the lower). Video cards increase the quality of any DVD's you may watch on your computer.

The best way to respond to this type of language is not to correct it, and better yet, to adopt it if someone you are speaking with uses it. Any sign that you think that they are using a term incorrectly will be interpreted as a personal assault on their intelligence.
