When it comes to understanding and writing about technology, one of the biggest challenges is dealing with all the insider-y terminology — particularly because it can feel so removed from everyday experience.
Now Alphabet’s tech incubator Jigsaw is working with The Washington Post on a new way to offer these explanations. Called the Sideways Dictionary, the focus is on analogies rather than traditional definitions — for example, BitCoin is “like digital gold,” while a zero-dayvulnerability is “like medics discovering a new virus.”
