Developing Storm

ExtremeTech has published a story on the ten most abused words in technology. The list of their choices is a follows:
  • Experience
  • Seamless
  • Consuming
  • Scenarios
  • Extreme (the irony was noted)
  • Market Segment
  • Enthusiast
  • Lifestyle
  • Digital Home
While these may be abused in the consumer market, I have to listen to a lot of corporate technologists pontificate and they use a different vocabulary. The words I would nominate as being abused are:
  • Heterogeneous
  • Provisioning
  • Silo
  • Horizontal
  • Vertical
  • Federated
