I watched a news piece recently on a senator who was inviting his constituents to join him on “Tweeter.” I thought, boy was this guy behind the times. Even I know it is supposed to be “Twitter.” How uncool can you be?
Then I realized that was probably about the extent of my “coolness” in the slang or tech world. Anymore, when I watch TV or see a movie, I have to make a mental note of some of the slang and look it up on the internet later. The trick is never to admit you are clueless.
