As I said, a new generation. Look at the tech we are talking about, the guys who invented it, popularized it are getting older, a new generation has come along and is using it's own nomenclature to describe the new and old/redone tech that surrounds them. Does the generation that came up in the 80's use the slang and exact nomenclature of those that came up in the 60's? It's quite suddenly to you probably because this new young generation is the one running the show now, they do the tech mags, they do the tech websites and youtube videos reviewing software and hardware. Look at the movers in the industry across the board, digg/reddit/twitter/facebook/google on and on, these are companies run by young people who have come of age after the heavy lifting of inventing the core base of our computer systems.
You need to come to terms with something, Steve. I'm sorry to have to do this to you but someone has to get you ready for your future. Say it with me.. 'Get off my lawn!'
