I'm an IT guy. Yeah that's right, I'm working in the IT business, programming software, writing software that tests other software and so forth. So whenever someone asks me what I do, I immediately blurt out:
"IT"
And then I ramble on about the details, while the handsome listener is already satisfied with these two letters.
Then yesterday I had this sudden thought:
What if someone is so far away from my daily "world", that she doesn't know what the abbreviation "IT" connotes and and asks me:
And since I use this term so mindlessly and so often, the correct answer wouldn't come to my mind and I felt a bit virtually embarrassed!
So I went to the Internet search engine of a popular American company and typed in my question:
What does IT stand for?
And as expected this popular search engine immediately relieved my stressed brain with the answer I was looking for:
Information Technology
