Is Computing Riddled with Too Many Acronyms?
An acronym occurs when the first letters of a phrase are combined into a shortened form that becomes an abbreviated way of describing the original. In science, they are often used to take a fairly verbose and complex concept, such as Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, and create a more concise and catchy noun LASER. The computing world is full of acronyms: Joint Photographic Experts Group becoming JPEG, or Graphics Interchange Format shortening to GIF. In these cases someone has done something difficult and complex such as invent a laser or an algorithm for compressing pictures for data transmission, and they earn the right to have a colloquial acronym named after their solution. What worries me is the vast number of acronyms that plague our profession that seemingly serve no real purpose...
