The Vernacular of the Digital Generation

The impact of the Internet and technology on our language is apparent to even the most technically challenged of us, IMHO (whatz up w/dat?)

If you're getting lost when someone tells you to STW or that they were AFK, then you aren't alone.

If your interactions with others online are not causing you to LOL, then perhaps a little edutainment is in order!

Listen in as the Data Doctors and our very knowledgeable listeners chime in to explain to the uninitiated how to decode today's online communication protocols!

Join us every Saturday from 12:00–2:00PM on FM News/Talk 92.3 as we discuss your computer questions at: 602.277.5827 or e-mail your questions during (or before) the broadcast using the ask a question page.

Facebook Fired: To be terminated because of a posting to a social network such as Facebook (alternatively, to be fired via post to such a network -- worse than the email pink slip, to be sure).
