As digital technologies evolve, I have witnessed that the jargon masquerading the concepts within the industry has created a chasm between the creators of digital technology and the average user. Furthermore, the average person either fears that they will be left behind and that they cannot understand digital technology or worse, they are oblivious to the machinations driving them to their app addiction. I write to bridge the divide between the digital creator and the consumer. I aim to illuminate the digital technology concepts shrouded by jargon that alienates the average user. I give the consumer an inside view of the IT industry, which will empower them to become competent, confident users firmly in control of their digital technology use.My articles are found at herolabs.co.nz under articles and are cross-posted to medium.com
