From The IT Crowd, S04E05 (recorded in July 2010). Jen is mocked in an HR assessment for thinking “IT” stands for “Internet things”.
Explanation:
While “IT” stands for Information Technology in their context, “Internet things” isn’t as ridiculous as it sounds - the existing term “Internet of Things” (IoT) was coined in 1985 (I didn’t know that) and began to creep into the tech mainstream in the 2010s as smart gadgets became commercially popular. I would expect most IT staff today to at least be aware of the Internet of Things.
