Summary "Confused about cryptocurrency? Flustered about flashmobs? Baffled about BuzzFeed? Worry no more! Armed with just this book, you'll soon be able to understand over 325 modern terms that have entered everyday conversation but which can be alien (and possibly even scary) to 'older people'*. Most of the terms are technology-related: things like Augmented Reality, Blogs, the Dark Web, Autonomous Cars and the Internet of Things. However, a whole host of contemporary concepts can be just as mystifying: notions such as Fake News, Cosplay, Memes, Fanboys, Hygge -- and, last but not least, Avocado Toast. *Anyone over 45.
