The prohibitive inability to interface competently with digital and electronic devices, typically but not always associated with the pre-digital native generation; often erroneously attributed to pre-millennials.
Not necessarily dependent on age, but manifests more obviously in a generation unfamiliar with electronic devices. Symptoms of the digital ceiling extent beyond computer literacy and competency, into institutional and attitudinal deficits toward technology; companies that do not recognize the threats and advantages of the digital world.
Someone that has hit the 'electric ceiling' is said to be limited by a profound lack of capacity regarding understanding technology, and it's implementation. They are superseded by a generation of people with an intuitive comprehension of computers and technical aptitude.
The world is currently entering a phase wherein digital natives (having come of age) are assuming key positions; which serves to magnify the effects of the 'Electric ceiling' among their counterparts.

People that stare at the ceiling when they talk to you. They look up, look to the side, stare at your forehead, they look everywhere except in your eyes.
