English Summary/英文概要： A humorous, illustrated guide to ’new stuff’, including vocabulary, for older people

A handy guide for anyone who says, ’The Facebook’ or ’The Google’ or who asks, ’Do they deliver emails on Sunday?’ This is a book for the elderly and not-so-elderly who are bamboozled not just by the technology of the contemporary world, but also various modern concepts and conceits that the more youthful take for granted. It explains a host of modern concepts and technologies that have entered everyday use and parlance but which are alien (and possibly frightening) not just to the elderly, but probably anyone over forty-five. These concepts are universal and should therefore appeal to readers in the UK, Australia, US and Europe. The definitions are all real, but entertaining, making use of easy-to-understand ’real world’ references or examples to explain them.
