When I talk tech around people I try to keep the more confusing terms to a minimum. Also, when I talk, I try to speak coherently, so even the computer illiterate will know what I'm talking about doing, even if they don't understand the specifics. In short, it's a bad idea to get too technical around people who don't understand it, it makes you (in a general sense, I'm not addressing anyone) come off as condescending, or too eager to impress.
My problem comes from talking in laymans terms to everyone whose level of computer literacy i'm not yet aware of, so sometimes it seems like I'm talking down to new people. It's a thin line to walk.
