New words that added up because use to technology in digital age
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a corpus of words such that they got their origin because of use of technology.
Like:
- bitcoin
- cloud
- follow
- handle
- tag
- viral
Any resources available ?

Not from Oxford (at least not publicly); however, there are open access corpora out there, for example here, which may be of some use to you.
Hi @aagarwal799. Something else that might help you would be to explore the categories section of the OED (we have a technology category). Although not everything in there will have its origins in technology (some words, such as unicorn, have developed a new sense due to technology, rather than originating in the tech world), it's interesting to explore. There is an etymology section for each word, and a date of first known usage, which should be useful to you.
