Project: Defining Technical Terms There are a large number of technical terms used by business professionals. All types of businesses have specific terms of their own. For example, in a textile business, an employee would be expected to understand the term "filament," which is a fine, thinly spun thread, fiber, or wire. As another example, a person working in a bank would be expected to understand the term "ATM network," which is a computer network that connects the Automated Teller Machines of different banks. However, that same person would not need to understand the term "filament." When you begin to prepare for work in a certain profession, you'll study to gain understanding of technical terms associated with that profession. Furthermore, new technical terms are continuously added. For these reasons, it is important to have resources for defining unknown technical terms.
