'Sideways Dictionary' simplifies tech jargon for the masses
If you ever get confused about tech jargon (or want to clear up said confusion), a new tool from Google's Jigsaw incubator and the Washington Post may help. The "Sideways Dictionary" uses analogies and metaphors to help regular, non-techy people understand terms like "zero-day," "metadata," "net neutrality" and other jargon. Users will be able to access analogies online like a regular dictionary or find them in the Post, where they'll accompany articles that contain "technobabble."
