每个领域都有自己的一组经常使用的首字母缩略词和流行语。考虑到上下文，一些流行语很容易理解，而另一些流行语需要在线搜索才能了解它们的含义。
根据《免费词典(Free Dictionary)》，流行语的定义是：“在流行文化或特定职业中流行起来的词或短语，通常听起来具有权威性或技术性(a word or phrase, often sounding authoritative or technical, that has come into vogue in popular culture or a particular profession)”。在这篇文章中，我们将查看 2013/2014 年 IT 领域的一些重要和流行的流行语。
计算机、IT 或技术流行语
您可能会惊讶地发现，有一个系统每年都会发布最常用的流行语、俚语等。该系统简称为Global Language Monitor或GLM。根据GLM，首字母缩略词和流行语的使用不仅是一种时尚，而且还适用于英语，因为它在一个或多个单词中表达了更多信息。它密切关注互联网(Internet)上发布的所有内容，以及重复单词、首字母缩略词或短语的次数，以找出新的流行语和首字母缩略词。
让许多人感到困惑的顶级 IT 流行语
大数据
这是当今最大的流行语。在此之前，没有人知道这个术语的存在，但多亏了AdSense和广告商，大数据(Big Data)是一个不太容易理解的常见流行语。实际上，大数据(Big Data)是指一组或多组数据，可在分析后用于创建策略。大数据(Big Data)不是一两 MB。它可以用比千兆字节（例如数百 TB）高得多的术语来衡量！有一些特殊的工具可以分析这些数据，因为人类无法在没有误差范围的情况下进行分析，更重要的是，没有偏见。

云
这是有道理的，同时也让我们感到困惑。任何不在您的场所并在远程服务器上实施的东西都是云。这不是一个全面的定义，因为肯定有其他相关因素。许多人不了解云的整个概念。有些人认为它仅用于存储，而其他人则知道他们使用的云的功能。我记得看过一个政治家的采访。这位政治家说：“谷歌将电子邮件存储在云 CD 中。但如果你不能在下雨之前取回邮件，数据就会丢失！” 我想知道这是否与哲学有关，或者政治家真的那么无知。那么……什么是云(What is Cloud)？
下一件大事
这是一个简单的嗡嗡声，所有人都能理解。这无需解释。但它已在如此多的环境中使用，以至于我们真的不知道下一件大事是什么。呃……它可以是Ubuntu可转换智能手机吗？我想这因人而异。

社会发现
这个有点难以理解，尽管这些词清楚地表明这是通过社交网站发现的。例如，您使用社交网站了解任何事情，这就是社交发现。它不仅限于社交网站，还包括博客、评论和视图。

欧洲核子研究组织
确实非常令人困惑，因为首字母缩略词甚至与它所代表的不匹配。根据维基百科(Wikipedia)，“欧洲核研究(Nuclear Research)组织(Organization)，简称CERN ，是一个欧洲研究组织，其目的是运营世界上最大的粒子物理实验室”。

网络 3.0
它曾经表示一个更好的全球网络。据我了解，Web 2.0比用户必须以被动模式交互的静态页面领先一步。Web 3.0速度更快，并允许用户实时交互。它具有长期吸引用户的功能。例如，社交网站。

2G、3G、4G、5G
这里，G代表generation，整个工作2G-5G指的是移动带宽。几代人在使用或翻转时的速度存在差异。4G 更高（更快），但网络的可用性可能并非无处不在。在这种情况下，您的手机在寻找 4G 网络时会消耗更多电量。到目前为止，5G 甚至很少见，我认为你不应该在你知道它不可用的地区将其保持“开启”——比如农村地区。

索洛莫
这是另一个令人困惑但流行/重要的 IT 流行语。它代表社交(Social)、本地(Local)和移动(Mobile)的融合。我仍然无法在大脑中创建正确的图像——即使在阅读了整个博客之后。这需要更多的研究。

SOA
最令人困惑但最重要的 IT 流行语之一是SOA。有 40,000 多本关于该主题的书籍，每本都试图解释面向解决方案的架构(Solutions Oriented Architecture)。

Popular Computer, Tech and IT Buzzwords of today
Everу field has its own set of acronyms and buzzwords that are used frequently. Some buzzwords are easy to understand given the context while others need an online seаrch to fіnd out what they mean.
The definition of buzzwords according to the Free Dictionary is: “a word or phrase, often sounding authoritative or technical, that has come into vogue in popular culture or a particular profession“. In this post, we will check out some of the important and popular buzzwords of 2013/2014 in the IT sector.
Computer, IT, or Tech Buzzwords
You may be surprised to know that there is a system that releases the most used buzzwords, slang, etc. annually. The system is called Global Language Monitor or GLM for short. According to the GLM, usage of acronyms and buzzwords are not only fashion but also serve to English as it says much more in one or more word(s). It keeps an eye on what all is being published on the Internet and how many times a word, acronym or phrase is repeated to find out new buzzwords and acronyms.
Top IT Buzzwords That Confuse Many
Big Data
It’s the biggest buzzword these days. Before that, no one knew the term exists but thanks to AdSense and advertisers, Big Data is a common buzzword that is not quite easy to understand. In effect, Big Data refers to one or more sets of data that can be used to create strategies after analyzing them. Big Data is not one or two MB. It can be measured in terms much higher than Gigabytes such as hundreds of terabytes! There are special tools to analyze such data as humans cannot analyze it without error margins and more importantly, without bias.

Cloud
This makes sense and at the same time keeps us confused. Anything not on your premises and implemented on remote servers is cloud. That is not a comprehensive definition as there are certainly other factors related to it. Many people do not understand the entire concept of the cloud. Some think it is only for storage while others know about the features of the cloud they use. I remember watching an interview with a politician. The politician said, “Google stores email in the cloud CD. But if you are not able to retrieve the mail before it rains, the data is lost!” I wonder if this has to do anything with philosophy or the politician was really that ignorant. So then…What is Cloud?
The Next Big Thing
It is an easy buzz, understood by all. This need not be explained. But it has been used in so many contexts that we truly do not know what the next big thing is. Err… Can it be Ubuntu convertible smartphone? I guess it varies from person to person.

Social Discovery
This one is a little tough to understand even though the words clearly indicate that it is some discovery via social networking sites. For example, you come to know about anything using social network sites, it is social discovery. It is not limited to social sites but covers blogs, reviews, and views also.

CERN
Very confusing indeed as the acronym does not even match what it represents. According to Wikipedia, “The European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN is a European research organization whose purpose is to operate the world’s largest particle physics laboratory”.

Web 3.0
It used to indicate a better worldwide web. From what I understand, Web 2.0 is a way ahead of static pages where users had to interact in passive mode. Web 3.0 is faster and lets the user interact in real-time. It has features to engage users for a long. For example, social networking sites.

2G, 3G, 4G, 5G
Here, G stands for generation, and the entire work 2G-5G refers to mobile bandwidths. There are differences when it comes to speed while using or flipping among the generations. A 4G is higher (faster) but the availability of the network may not be everywhere. In that case, your phone will drain more battery looking for the 4G network. As of now, 5G is even rare and I don’t think you should keep it “ON” in areas where you know it won’t be available – such are rural areas.

SoLoMo
This one is another confusing but popular/important IT buzzword. It stands for the convergence of Social, Local, and Mobile. I still can’t create a proper image of it in the brain – even after reading an entire blog on it. This needs more research.
Read: What is Quantum Computing?
SOA
One of the most confused but important IT buzzwords is SOA. There are more than 40,000 books on the topic, each trying to explain Solutions Oriented Architecture.
