Synopsis

The Twentieth Century revolution in technology has also sparked a revolution in language, with new words being created and accepted into mainstream at unprecedented rates. "Control+Alt+Delete" is a handy reference for anyone who doesn't know what blook, chiptune, or silvercast mean. Featuring 250 terms, this unique volume covers all the basics, such as blogs and wikis, as well as more advanced terminology. BUG - According to legend, the first "bug" to cause system malfunction was actually a moth in a computer at Harvard shortly after World War II. WEBLOGISTAN - A segment of the blogsphere maintained by Iranian activists as a parallel universe to their country's oppressive political landscape.
