If you are tech savvy and have a knack for explaining terms concisely in a way that anyone can understand, then you could win $100 in RecoEngine’s Non-Technical Computer Encyclopedia challenge. The challenge closes tomorrow, March 9th, but there are no solutions posted yet; if you’re quick, you could snatch up that prize!
The challenge is to define the following terms in one or two sentences “as if you were explaining it to your non-technical mother”: processor, RAM, CDRW, DVDRW, Blu-ray ROM, Blu-ray RW, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, USB flash drive, operating system, magnetic hard drive, solid state hard drive, video card, wireless card (A, B, G, N), LCD screen, and LED screen.
This encyclopedia is going to help all of us non-techies (yes, that includes me) come to grips with the endlessly baffling world of computer lingo.
