It certainly sounds like the people who coined the computer terms were hungry. Lets see, byte, nybble, serial port (sounds like cereal, and port is a type of wine). The terms might just be coincidental. For instance, a nybble is half a byte, so it could be that they simply went along with the food theme of the previous person.

Then there are terms that would be stretching this notion. If you slur the word interface, it may sound like "in your face," and while glitches are called bugs, people do eat insects in some parts of the world.

Differentiate the computer literacy from computer competency?

These terms are similar, and generally go hand in hand. Computer literacy means that a person knows the computer terminology. A person who is computer literate knows how to use terms such as cursor, minimize, task bar, RAM, etc. A person who is computer competent is someone who knows very well how to use a computer. People who are computer competent know how to do most basic tasks on a computer; like installing and uninstalling programs, changing settings, etc.
