Technel

Someone who's life is dominated by technology, more so than the average person. This person always has an array of gadgets on their person, such as the newest phone, watch, etc. Some of the tools they own might fill a niche role, or one that is a total gimmick, such as a shoulder-mounted automatic fly swatter, or in the case of a useless gimmick, a juicero juicing machine. Often times the technel will brag about how advanced their technology is to the point where the objects they own become their whole personality and more or less extensions of themselves. Technels are the type of people who will talk all day about all the benefits of modern day innovations, but would be left defenseless should their beloved technologies fail, and will likely attribute this failure to external factors rather than poor design. Most technels wouldn't survive 3 days in the wilderness without their little toys.

Example 1:

Technel: "The flesh is weak.. Robots are our masters!"

Regular person: "goddamn when will this technel shut up he's been hogging the mic for 20 minutes now."

Example 2: Technel brags about shoes with built in climate control, regenerative insoles, and self tying laces made of titanium cable. Technel tries to demonstrate the capabilities of the hydraulic jump feature, failing to account for the fact that the shoes have a weight limit of 130 lbs between the two of them and the engineers didn't do a very good job creating a waterproof design. Technel doesn't make it over the massive puddle they tried to jump and total their $18,000 shoes, blaming the failure on "wind conditions."

Techlish

A very technical conversation in English. Difficult to understand. Also, a form of techno-speak.

That techno-geek was speaking Techlish. I couldn't undestand a word.

Technemo

A "Technemo" is some who:
-Is an emo kid who also loves techno
-Loves the combination of emo music and techno music
-Dyes their hair odd colours, but only when it's paired with black
-Wear random bright/neon colours amongst their usual black clothing

Much like a "Techno Punk" and "Electro Kid".

Technemo: I like My Chemical Romance, Mindless Self Indulgence, The Used, Nine Inch Nails, Retard-O-Bot and Fall Out Boy! And look! I just dyed pink chunks into my black hair! Am I a techno punk or what?!
Techno punk: No, you're a technemo, but techno punks and technemos are so close in genre that we can be friends! Yay!
Technemo: Yay!

technesis

the movement of electronic information

Jeff (now in a semi-vegetative state) used his brain waves (and some cunning technological advances) to move the cursor across the screen via technesis... it could arguably also be labelled as technology based 'psychotechnesis' (robosuperpowers).
