digital hazing 

The systematic process of intimidation by hazing an individual using digital communication devices such as a digital mobile phone.

Hazing used to be restricted to the realm of waking conscious direct social experiences. Now digital hazing will allow hazing to be more covert and seem passive.

eg. Billy was a victim of digital hazing at school. The teachers had no idea he was being hazed by the other students until they intercepted a phone with messages on it.

Digital Hazing is considered a form of psychotechnology by some governments.

digital people watching 

Like people watching , but digitally.

A hobby in which you watch people with your phone, mainly for online dating website when you swipe and watch people’s profile /pictures just for fun, not really into actual conversations or engaging.

I like digital people watching before bed.

Digital Gonad 

A remote worker who travels the world but can only talk about it in a conceited way. Key attributes may include:

• Traveling to cool places and ruining them in the process.
• Preaches about minimalistic lifestyle while life’s belongings are at parents’ house.
• Competes with US military for most unwanted presence.
• Unperturbed by the fact that their “unique find” coffee shop is filled with other digital gonads.

• Complains about capitalism while making 100x the average local salary.

• Sometimes doubles as a sex tourist.

• Leaves a trail of haters in their wake.

• Constantly reminds everyone about their odd working hours due to time differences.

• Travels the world but strategically leaves out Africa, India, and the Middle East.
• Disparages staying in one place but doesn’t realize they can only go their because people live in one place.

• Calls themselves a nomad but is over reliant on technology and infrastructure for basic survival
• Environmentalist but ignores their massive jet-setting lifestyle’s carbon footprint.

Things a digital gonad might say: Where’s the Wi-Fi? Why is the Wi-Fi bad? My Wi-Fi was bad so I couldn’t join the call. What’s the password to your Wi-Fi? Generally, too much discussion about Wi-Fi.
