I have very little interest in reliving the career from which I just retired.
I was just re-reading some (not so) older SF books where the author "Modern" computer jargon or terms.

"Asked IT for another 1024K of online-storage"
Inserted her disk.
CRT (as a computer terminal)
Sort of reminds me of, Scotty and the Mouse" in one S.T. movie

Other books have the same basic, future functions, but use vague terms and avoid tottally Dating the date written.

Storage cube
VDU, Terminal
Flimsy (Avoids a specific type of hard copy)

Then there are "Waldow's", where SF named a future product
