Ne sentiamo tanti, ma cosa significano, esattamente, i tani acronimi che utilizziamo in informatica? Leggendo articoli sul web o, semplicemente, recandoci in un centro d'assistenza e vendita, ci può capitare di sentir parlare di prodotti identificati da acronimi di cui, molte volte, ignoriamo il significato. Ecco, allora, una lista che svela il loro "vero nome". Leggendola, probabilmente ci risulterà, poi, più semplice capire e ricordare cosa sia una RAM, una porta LAN, perché la fluidità di un gioco si indichi in FPS, quale sia la differenza tra codice HTML ed XML e via discorrendo.
Buona lettura!
