Computer Acronyms . Computer science is the science and technique that allows data to be processed and transmitted in digital format. Like all science, it has its own specific lexicon. Most computer terms are used in English globally, so acronyms and acronyms are an important tool to allow speakers of other languages to convey the same concepts, but also to easily and quickly say concepts complex.

Definition
An acronym is understood as an abbreviation or set of acronyms that, due to its frequent use, ends up being incorporated as one more word, to the point that many people ignore its origin or the exact meaning of the terms it groups. These are often words made up of fragments of two or more words, so they are not usually written in capital letters, as in the case of acronyms or initials, but in the ordinary sense of a common word. But the meaning of the acronym will be equal to the sum of the meanings of the words or terms that compose it.
