Non ce n'est pas du latin, c'est un neologisme : http://www.dictionary.com/wordoftheday/archive/2001/03/11.html digerati \dij-uh-RAH-tee\, plural noun: Persons knowledgeable about computers and technology. Digerati was formed by analogy with literati, "persons knowledgeable about literature." eg.: As high tech spreads outward from Silicon Valley to American society at large and people spend more and more time in cyberspace, the journalist Paulina Borsook steps back to look at the digerati and their view of the world. --Michiko Kakutani, "Silicon Valley Views the Economy as a Rain Forest," New York Times, July 25, 2000 [T]his week, over 3,000 digerati will converge at a swank theater where chef Julia Child and pundit Arianna Huffington, among others, will judge 135 Web sites. --David Whitman, "The calm before the storms," U.S.News & World Report, May 15, 2000 et : http://www.edge.org/digerati/ Who are the "digerati" and why are they "the cyber elite"? They are the doers, thinkers, and writers who have tremendous influence on the emerging communication revolution. They are not on the frontier, they are the frontier. The digerati evangelize, connect people, adapt quickly. They like to talk with their peers because it forces them to go to the top of their form and explain their most interesting new ideas. They give each other permission to be great. That's who they want to talk to about the things they are excited about because they want to see if it plays. They ask each other the questions they are asking themselves, and that's part of what makes this cyber elite work. <brice/> -- Brice Le Blevennec, Digerati, ListDad, <http://www.brice.net> Emakina S.A. - The e-business Agency <http://www.emakina.com> Ex Machina Television S.P.R.L.- Television & Radio Production <http://www.cybercafe21.net> <http://www.netbusinessnews.com> Contact Office Group S.A. - The Professional Online Office <http://www.contactoffice.com> Que ceux qui veulent profiter des conditions Salon levent le doigt ! >>> Decouvrez la nouvelle gamme Audi sur http://www.audi.be - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CCMC vous est offert par Emakina <http://www.emakina.com> Pour vous desabonner: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
