You exaggerate. I'll give it a try:
Memory is what you need to pass a software engineering interview at a top company. Address is unimportant these days, as everything is on-line - employees can work wherever they like so long as it's in the Bay Area. Channel is how you market your SAAS software. Console is what you do to your colleagues after a round of layoffs. Interrupt is what your manager does.
