In class we have been learning about how fast technology keeps developing. One place this is evident is in spell check. Many spell checkers still can check for technological words that are common today but didn't exist when the spell checker was invented.
Here are some examples.
I use Word 97 on my home computer. It recognizes email and Internet but not ipod. It recognizes Encyclopedia Britannica but not Wikipedia. It doesn't recognize the word blog.
It recognizes Hotmail, Yahoo, and AOL, but not Google or Firefox. (Hard to believe Google didn't exist in 97.)
Just goes to show how new technologies and the words that describe them, are constantly emerging.
