I've noticed the younger ones are changing the terminology of things throughout the building trade, I just wondered if the same thing is happening throughout the electrical world?

[ElectriciansForums.net] Will The Terminologies Start Changing?
 
Talking about terminologies in the electrical industry it has changed quite a bit, CPC for earth conductor, distribution circuit for sub main, socket for coupler, RFC for ring main, that's just off the top of me head. However it's still jargon and any experienced sparkie will understand.
 
but with interactive presentation devices.
We went to see dreadzone a few weeks back, in the field there was a young girl sitting on a potty totally absorbed in her 'interactive presentation device'. I was going to take a photo as it was a sign of modern times that I don't really agree with but quickly realised that if I was seen taking a photo of a two year old girl on a potty I could have some questions to answer!
