Digital Howard

An obscure magician’s misdirect. Dates back to the late 1800’s, invented by William Radley and named after famed magician Howard Thurston. Involved creating a spectacle to draw people’s attention, and then using deft pickpocketing skills (digits) to nick as many valuables as possible while people were distracted.

If I tap you on the right shoulder so you look right, and then steal your wallet out of your left pocket, that's a Digital Howard

Digital Renaissance

The era where information and ideas were easily accessible in the age of computers that started with the beginning of the Internet in 1995. A new enlightenment age, like the original Renaissance era of the 14th to 17th centuries, where art and culture thrive. A time where old and new ideas are revisited and reshaped to lead humanity into the next era all across the world.

We are living in the Digital Renaissance.

"Hopefully, after the Digital Renaissance era, people wouldn't be as stupid."

"Sorry Dave, you're wrong."

Digital Vitiligo

When the media uses people of colour in ads, magazines, etc. and lightens their skin in an effort to be more "marketable" read: white and "appealing" read: white to a larger white audience.

This process lightens the skin so much that the person in question bears little resemblance to a real person of colour and is obviously fake.

"Did you see Rihanna on the cover of Vogue? It looks like she has digital vitiligo..."

"Why do Venus and Serena Williams look about 4 shades lighter than normal in the new iPhone commercial?"

digital transformation

A word used by sales people with limited knowledge of technology to define the movement from an older type of technology to something newer, sparkly and expensive but not necessarily better.

Do you want help with digital transformation of your current set-up to the cloud, all it takes is money, poor project management, staff re-training and if you are lucky, you might have something that is less secure, a pain to administer and at best as awful as what you had before but on someone else's computer
