Word of the Day: die Speichereinheit = computer memory
Einheit : unit
Speicher: memory
There seem to be several different ways to denote 'computer main memory'
in the German language, starting with the word Speicher, however
the above is what is recognized by the Deutsche Zollamt, the German Customs
Office.
Every material item in the world has a "number" in a thick book of
thousands of numbered categories, printed by the German customs office.
When something from abroad comes in, it must be identified with this
special number, before someone can receive it. Some items flow smoother
through the Customs office than others (and some not at all): I don't
know yet the fastest flowing items, but computer memory is not one of
those.
This thick book of object categorization seems to be a particular
bugaboo for this system. While the German language gives you an
amazing ability to combine words in a way to describe something
very precisely, the "Book" looks to me like a bottleneck and I expect
that the Customs office (or more precisely, the business offices
which must first find these numbers to give to the Customs office)
will have more and more difficulty to categorize an object, as objects
become more and more hybrid. (BTW Speichereinheit is not listed under
the category of "computer")
