technovice

Someone who is new to technology. A non-geek.

Anything new has a tendency to invoke fear, wariness and distrust. Newcomers to the technoscene are commonly assailed with pejoratives: but we were all newbies once; and every one of us remains a noob in some field of human endeavour - nobody knows it all.

The term 'technovice' is a more polite, welcoming term. It says, "Hi there friend, I see you're new here, do you need a hand?" whereas "FOAD you loser n00b!" simply pollutes cyberspace.

The word can be read as 'tech'+'novice', describing the present state of the user's knowledge (or rather, lack of it): but hidden within is the suggestion of things to come, when read as 'techno'+'vice' :)

"Mandy's a real technovice, I had to show her where the power switch was on her PC."

technotoe

Technotoe
Teh-k-no-toe
The definition of insanity and hilarity combined is technotoe. There is no true pattern to understand technotoe all you need to know is that they are chaotic and you should consider stalking. Sorry following them on tiktok because they are a GOD at everything except being normally (because who wants to be normal like ew_)

Dave: hey do you know who technotoe is?
Billy:no who are they
Dave: better than you thats who

technoliterate

Someone who is versed in many forms of techno (technically known as electronica), from house to trance to progressive to tribal, etc. This person will have a variety of fly techno beats in their collection of techno. You may find many such people at clubs and festivals specializing in such music.

Dude, we got a soccer game in 15 minutes! We need some techno to pump us up, what do you got?
I got some Tiesto, Van Buuren, Schulz, Corsten, Oakenfold...
Damn you are technoliterate...I love it!

Man, sandstorm is the greatest techno song ever!
It's definitely a classic man, but once you become technoliterate, you'll hear even better.

Technotheism

Technotheism is a technological and religious movement that advocates that the best way to be near God, gods and spiritual beings is through technology. Technotheism advocates the production of technologies in order to be near the divine, technologies like the ones of technodeism, technoquantumism, technospiritualism, extraphysicism and divinialism.

"Technotheism might be the future of religion, such as the future of the new forms of spirituality that human societies actually now, since we would create enough technology to be near the divine and even become the divine."

"Technotheism, technodeism, technoagnosticism and technospiritualism are literally the same thing with different goals and functions."

technicide

The end result of becoming so infuriated at a piece of technology that one renders it useless by throwing it into a wall, dropping it out a window, taking a baseball bat to it, shooting it, etc. just to show once and for all who really is lord and master. See Office Space.

Ted couldn't stand his cellphone dropping every third call due to a malfunctioning internal antenna, so he committed technicide by renting a steamroller for an hour and running over it while Bill recorded the video on Ted's new phone.
