Take the misery out of trying to comprehend the latest onslaught of technobabble delivered from the local IT nerd across the street. Here you’ll find some of the most common IT nerd-words reduced to familiar language complimented by big pictures where words don’t seem to cut it.

Data
Recovery

Applied methods to recover data that may have been accidentally or deliberately deleted moved or lost from hard drives and other removable media.

Device Recognition

When a computer starts up it searches itself for any new hardware ^TB you may have just plugged into it for the first time; for example a new printer. The computer will recognise it as a printer but not know how to operate it and will demand a set of instructions for called drivers (see below).

Digital Crime

 Breaking into another network or computer system (Hacking) for your own gains or to inflict misery on your intended victim. Stealing personal details or identity from someone else.

Drivers

You’ve just bought a brand new mobile phone and you take it out of the box. You recognise it as a mobile phone but you don’t know how to work (operate) it so you read the instructions. 
Drivers are just that; a set of software ^TB instructions that tell the computer brain (processor) how to work a piece of hardware installed within itself.
