Adding more words to English language through ICT

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.
