A slipped up finger in a thread over in GD got me thinking about this…
What would happen if you took a common word, changed it ever so slightly, and turned it into new computer technology?
What happened over in GD is that a poster meant to type “soundbite.” He instead posted “soundbyte.”
Now, you see the word has been changed very slightly, and in new computer technology this could mean:
soundbyte: 8 bits of a WAV file
Come on, creative types. Can you think of any others?
