This list looks at the origins of ten computer related words. The entries presented here are not necessarily etymological, but rather they attempt to trace the words back to their creators or first use in the computing world. I tried to include words that were common enough to be recognizable, so there is a mix of technical and colloquial terms. If there are any you feel I have overlooked or any about which I am mistaken, please share your thoughts in the comments! So here, for your enjoyment and in no particular order, are the origins of ten computer words.
