How Many of these Technology Acronymns Do You Know?

 Today, I am not writing about Food ( for Your Body). I will talking about Food your Mind. Some of my readers believe, I am obsessed with Food as a topic. I agree but not today. However, I promised that before the end of the month, I will post an Article titled, April is Filipino Food Month.    

Senior Citizens, specifically nonagenarian like me, I would guess will not be familiar with all of the following technological abbreviations, unless they have work in the Field of Computers during their younger years. 

Personally, I know very well only 10 of the terms below, in spite of my use of computers in my blogging activities since 2008.   I turned 90 years old last December 2024 and was glad to hear that my youngest daughter, Ditas, called me a 90-year old influencer.  You may agree or disagree of me being called a 90-year old influencer, but two of my blogs have now reached over a million page views.  I am very proud of that accomplishment, even though I stopped monetizing five years ago. 

I just enjoyed blogging every day, to inform, to make my readers laugh or think, and even sometimes inspire my blog readers all over the world. Blogging makes me feel young and useful. Comments from my readers inspire me to continue blogging everyday.  Here at THD and the East Bay, I have around 50 residents reading my blogs daily and are in my Distribution List.  

Here are the Abbreviations for your information, in case you do not know! If you already know, I salute You!    

  Meanwhile, Did You Know that.....

The Philippines was almost Asia’s tech giant? In the 1960s, it attracted major U.S. semiconductor companies — with factories sprouting in Manila and Baguio.

But during the Marcos years, political instability and labor issues made foreign firms shift to South Korea and Taiwan. By the 1980s, what could've been Asia's "Silicon Islands" was left behind. 

Lastly, here's an article on AI: Innovation in Senior Care. A must read for Seniors who needed assistance in Daily Living or just for information on the current status of Artificial Intelligence related to Senior Citizens issues: Here's the Introduction:

"Many of us assume that technology adoption—and AI adoption, in particular, is a daunting process for older adults. We have this image of the struggling senior citizen, which clouds the product design process, often forcing a reluctance to push AI features (no matter how powerful) within products for the aging population. This notion may have been valid at one point in time. Still, it’s likely an ageist assumption among the younger generation developing this tech, as research has shown that AI adoption is rapidly increasing for people aged 65+, with over half of this population in the U.S. being aware of ChatGPT".
