Let me help you understand.
Griff simply said Word (the Microsoft product) was released in 1983.
The joke is that Mandeep was referring to actual words (like "cat" and "peanut").
And Mandeep was trying to say information was here long before "The father of Information Technology", in which Mandeep fails to understand that Shannon was the father of Information Technology, not just Information.
All in all a pretty funny play on words (hah!) Big Grin | :-D

I don't know what pills you've been on, but luckily the internet is a friendly place with nice people who are willing to help without making you feel stupid Smile | :)
Read my (free) ebook Object-Oriented Programming in C# Succinctly.
