Technocracy

Technocracy, the politico-economic movement, advocates the optimization of the welfare of human beings, by means of scientific analyses and engineered action. It does not limit itself to established economic, political and administrative forms, but considers those as human artifacts subject to optimization. As a result, the group's reforms seem quite radical to many people.

Technocracy advocates an economic system in which production is run at full capacity at all times, and purchasing power equal to the productive capacity is evenly distributed to all. The organization claims that this will guarantee both well-being and security for all.

A government or social system controlled by technicians, especially scientists and technical experts.

No country has ever been a true Technocracy, this is a hypothetical type of government.

Technodexterous

Technodexterous is the skillful ability to use programs on different operating systems equally well. For example, while some companies allow their employees to select a computer of their preference (Windows or Mac), they require IT support personnel to be technodexterous—knowledgeable about both.

My buddy really saved me! The dude is technodexterous. Even though he swears by Mac, he was able to figure out how to setup my network connections on my Dell.

technopunk

Technopunk is a community of performers, artists, ravers and hackers enjoying a punk lifestyle surrounded by hitech.
It has been one of the first culture to be computer aided designed from scratch, be it the arts, the networks.
The term was first coined within the illegal techno movement around europe back in the early 90s, using the internet to get organized against governmental repression. Technopunks are persecuted by a police state all around the world until today they find ways to fight this using networks.
Original technopunk happenings don't happen in clubs but in random squats, outdoor and indoor and it is difficult for a lambda new comer to get any information at first, it is impossible to find any honest or real information about technopunk on any media except the internet.

techno

An ETERNALLY mislabeled genre of music which has nothing to do with Moby, Tiesto, Chemical Brothers, or Fatboy Slim. Techno is indeed a broad sub-genre of electronic dance music (or EDM, what many people use "techno" inproperly as a blanket term for) which fulfills these following constituents:

1. It is in some form minimalist, whether in composition or in sequencing.
2. It is created for the sole purpose of making people dance.
3. It is constructed in a manner to allow DJs to quickly and expertly mix and layer 2 or more of these compositions simultaneously.

Due to it's building-block nature, true techno is closer to hip-hop than many of the genres (such as trance and breakbeat) which it is erroneously associated with.

"Many argue that the works of Jeff Mills are techno in it's purest form, but others disagree."
