I’ve been in tech for more years than I can count on all my appendages. While I’m a die-hard techie, I’ve never been happy with the jargon we use in the industry nor the mystique we’ve tried to cultivate. Tech should be for everyone. I started writing this column to make tech more accessible to everyone and to address that point. I do my best to remove the jargon and, if I can’t remove it, explain it in terms we all use every day and arm everyone with the knowledge needed to acquire and use the tech in our lives.
