1. Only YOU can answer this. See all the instances of "you" in this question?
2. My example below isn't a technical term, but it'll give you the idea so you can think of some technical terms within the field you're studying:
"impact" = definitions 1 and 2 are the original meanings; definitions 3 and 4 are some uses added recently.

IMO, people have become too lazy to use "impact" for when one thing strikes another and "effect" for when one thing influences the outcome of a situation, etc. You can see the word's history in the first entry here:
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=impact&searchmode=none
You can use those two sites to help you with other words/terms you decide to investigate:
http://www.answers.com
and

Some technical terms pass into common usage as knowledge about a field spreads. Think of three such terms that have passed into common usage recently
