Concerning Internet type terminology in Druni:
Computer technology has evolved slightly differently on Dun than on Terra.
More organic, less developed in certain ways.
Druni terms:
sobonéri - computer, from "sóbon" [information] and "éri" [device].
Tá Bredíit Sobonház (The Planetary Internet) from "bredí" [planet] and
"sobonház" [information path].
A more localized computer network would be called "sobonerizél" (computer web)
Information Science (Information Management) - Sobonnír
Computer Science (comncerning the device itself) - Sobonerinír
Information Technician (scientist) - Sobonnírdi
Computer Technician (expert) - Sobonerídi or sobonerinírdi [lit.:
computer-ist or computer-ologist].
