technolojesus

"As the legend goes, Jesus once encountered the Borg. The Borg attacked him, he turned the other cheek, and the Borg promptly sedated him. When he woke up, he had been assimilated. His new found fusion with the complex technology of the Borg was not something he rejected - he rejoiced. He swayed the Borg to be peaceful while he downloaded all the coolest new apps. He taught the Borg to meditate on compassion while he traded stocks from his iPhone. He cured the deaf among the Borg and gave them hands-free bluetooth ear pieces. He even showed them tranquility and sent them the most elite tracker invitations."

"Continually, he led them to enlightenment and free porn, but they were not satisfied. A glitch named Judas caused the Borg to attack Jesus. They soldered him to a steel wall. Though in his final moments he became entranced, marveling at visions of bleeding edge technology, he faded. As his last breath left his body, his netbook dropped from his hands and he died. Three days later he just kinda woke up. He rose into the air - floating, wrapped in a buzzword cloud widget. His gaze fell upon them as he ventured to speak, but nay, words did not come - only the most beautiful ringtone fluttered gaily from his lips and echoed throughout the cold halls of the cube. With that, the Borg bowed low and he vanished."

* The term technolojesus is now used widely as a title for anyone skilled with computers or electronics who also happens to be a compassionate badass with mad wisdom.

Technologically neutered

To strip technology of all meaningful features, thereby violating its original intent to solve problems in an automated way. This is typically done by an enterprise through a series of decisions made by folks with no understanding of technology, e.g. legal or risk. Fears that drive to these decisions are typically focused on trying to prevent behaviors through technology limitations, without isolating that the issue is the behavior. The end result will likely be a set of technology that looks similar to the current technology set, just with a different look and feel on top of a fundamentally rearchitected platform typically costing millions of dollars.

The approach would be equivalent to not allowing knives in the cafeteria for fear of stabbings vs not hiring people who won't stab each other. Only technologically neutering costs much more.

2) A technopolis is a city where robots and cyborgs are so commonplace that complex computers, robotic parts and artificial intelligence programs can be seen in trash bins and/or are sold freely on the street.

Response - "I am sorry that I lack technological osmosis skills, please attach the attachment to the previous email."
