If you find yourself in the ICT career and business of today, you
must be ready to acquaint yourself with lots of abbreviations and
terminologies. ICT study and profession is characterized by uncountable
abbreviations
and terminologies which is currently changing the face of the English
dictionary. Some words like delete, signin, signout, logout, login,
signup e.t.c can now be found in the contemprorary English dictionary of
today because of ICT. They were not in the English dictionary before.
Even the name ICT is an abbreviation meaning Information and
Communications Technology. So from its title to the minutest topic in
ICT contains all sorts of abbreviations and terminologies.
In my own opinion, I think we ICT professionals need an acronym and
ICT terminologies compilation book in form of an encyclopaedia that we could
visit from time to time for better understanding of some ICT concepts..
To
mention but a few ICT abbreviations and terminologies are
DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration protocol), IP(Internet Protocol)
TCP(Transmission Configuration Protocol), SEO(Search Engine
Optimization) OSI(Open System Internetwork), IOS(Internetwork Operating
System), TELNET(Telecommunications
Network), HTTP(Hypertext Transfer Protocol) WAMP SERVER(Windows, Apache,
MySQL, PHP), ITIL(IT Infrastructural Library), SQL(Structural Querry
Language), PHP(Hypertext Preprocessor), HTML(Hypertext Mark up
Language), WI FI(Wireless Fidelity), ARP(Address Resolution Protocol),
RJ 45(Register Jack 45), CCNA(Cisco Certified Network Associate),
IoTs(Internet of Things)
BTS(Base Transceiver Station), FAQ(Frequently Asked Questions),
UTP(Unshielded Twisted Pair), LAN(Local Area Network), WLAN(Wide Area
Network), IDE(Integrated Device Electronics), SATA(Serial Advance
Technology), RSS (Really Simple Syndication), URL (Uniform Resource
Locator) e.t.c. The list is vast and unlimited. More
and more ICT advancement continue to roll out everyday leading to a
continuous increase in the number of ICT abbreviations. Definitely there
is going to be no end to ICT abbreviations because a lot of discoveries
are yet to be uncovered in the ICT world.
ICT has made the world a
better place for everyone and will continue to change the face of the
world. Now the world is talking about internet of things(IoTs) as the
next big thing to happen in the ICT arena. Internet of things(IoTs)
would be powered effectively by the 5G technology of which researchers
say by the year 2020 would become a reality.
