Navigation: In home office tech terms, navigation refers to the display, buttons, arrows, and menu bars present on a website, software program, or desktop which enable the user to move from one part of the website to another, or from one function of the software to another, or from one application in the desktop to another.
Neck Tension: Neck tension is a common problem for anyone who works on a computer for a significant amount of time each workday; it is, perhaps, more common in the home office because often the home office is not equipped with the proper ergonomic furniture, lighting, and arrangement of hardware and tools. Using ergonomic principles to set up the home office, and being sure that your posture and head position are correct, will help to eliminate tension in the muscles of the neck. Other helpful ideas include doing daily stretches of the head, neck, and shoulder muscles; taking frequent breaks (5 minutes of every hour) to get up, move around, and loosen tight muscles; drinking plenty of water to help flush out toxins that accumulate in muscles; exercising daily to build up muscle strength and flexibility; and paying attention to the physical feelings and sensations of your body while you work so that you can change position, take a break, or do what is necessary to prevent neck tension from occurring.
Networking: Another term made popular by the Internet, networking usually refers to online, social networking, though the strict definition simply means to establish mutually advantageous relationships with people. Via the Internet and social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, De.icio.us, Gather, and others, online networking has become an essential part of marketing and is a huge part of personal social interaction.
Networks: In computer terms, a network is a group of interconnected computers. The Internet itself is essentially a huge network which any computer can join by connecting via cable, modem, or wireless means. Smaller networks are limited to a particular set of computers which can exchange files and share information. Computer networks may be as small as the desktop you use and the printer to which it is connected: those two pieces of hardware constitute a network.
Newb, Newbie (Noob): A term commonly used on computing/technological forums to refer to a user who is new and unfamiliar with the particular computer applications, methods, or knowledge being discussed. The term has extended and is used in other applications as well, though it still has a strong association with computing and Internet related topics.
Niche: A niche is a particular subset or subarea of a larger topic or subject. Niche marketing means that the service or product being marketed will be targed at a particular, smaller set of a larger cultural group in hopes of getting a larger percentage of positive responses. Niche specialization refers to a freelancer or consultant choosing to specialize in a particular smaller topic area in order to build up an expertise status sooner in that area and be able to secure better-paying jobs and clients.
Norton Anti-Virus software: A popular software program which provides anti-virus protection for computers.
