The end of the internet as we know it (and I feel fine)
Internet buzzwords tend to sneak up on me in the middle of the night like a pod-alien in Invasion of the Body Snatchers. From then onwards, I begin liberally using the new phrase to friends, work colleagues and associates as though it has always been part of my vocabulary.
Most recently, I was overwhelmed by a serious case of ‘digital media’ (often just digital for short), which has now seemlessly deposed the previous incumbent buzzwords (Online, New Media) as catch-alls to describe the broad sweep of internet-related activities.
