Tech Terms in Plain English

The book for everyone who has ever nodded along at a word they didn't know.

Tech Terms in Plain English translates the language of modern life. Six chapters — Computers & Phones, The Internet & the Web, AI Words, Selling Online, Money & Accounts Online, and Talking & Social — cover more than 130 everyday tech words, each one spelled out, defined in plain English, and followed by an everyday "In real life" example. What's a cookie, really? What does "headless" mean? What are CPC, 2FA, and a passkey — and what should you never do with a one-time passcode?

No jargon without a translation, no talking down, and no hype: the cloud is other people's computers (said kindly, because it's true), and you'll learn why. The appendix boils the 40 short forms you'll meet most into one table and settles the pairs that sound alike but aren't — internet vs. web, download vs. upload, memory vs. storage, hacker vs. scammer.

Format: PDF ebook, 62 pages. Instant download after checkout — read it on any phone, tablet, or computer, and keep it forever as the dictionary by your desk.
