infinitech

Originated from the word infinity and technology. Referred to someone who believes the universe is infinite due to the mass-production and human ideas. The technology that is the second root of this word can also be related to human technology, or human ideas and advancements. Ifinitechs are often cyber-junkies or extremely intelligent.
