The Internet Of Things Is Our Thing Part 1

"...let us ease into the realm of technology..."

The Internet Of Things Is Our Thing

Part 1

Part 1 will explore technology, its people,
its idiosyncrasies and its terminologies.
Part 2 will help you inhabit the world of
AI for a while and touch on what the maker
of the internet is up to these dynamic days.
It looks like heads will roar and roll, do not dare
miss out on that bite of the cherry and more…

Now let us ease into the realm of technology.
Let us do that because the world of technology
is intriguing, mind-blowing and ever-changing.
I am told that a person who works in the field
of technology is a technologist, and terminology
sometimes goes from gentle to wild when we talk
of one who loves, follows or is knowledgeable about it.

Computer experts come in many shapes, shades and sizes:
from computer programmers or software engineers , network
and computer systems administrators to support specialists.

By the same token, technology enthusiasts and users
can be characterised and defined in many loose ways.
For instance a loose definition of a person who loves
to code could include words like: code junkie, developer,
scripter, code wizard, code geek, hacker, codaholic
, etc.

One who is enthusiastic and conversant with technology
can be termed…an IT technician. A computer scientist.
A techie. A nerd. Techno-savvy.
And … a technophile.
