technopath

a person with the ability to fix computers and related devices without touching them.

I called Roberta to fix my computer. The computer was completely frozen and nothing I did worked to fix it. She walked into my room, and as she came within a foot of the computer, it miraculously started working perfectly again. She is an amazing technopath, and I have seen these technopathic skills displayed by her over and over again.

Technocracy

A form of government where those who are skilled rule.

“Those who are skilled” is often taken to mean scientist and engineers; however, that is not necessarily the case. A technocracy is a hypothetical system of governance where those who are skilled in a particular area make the decisions for that area, so a person who is skilled in the area of health would manage the heath system and someone skilled in defence would make the decisions for the defence of a state rather than having elected representatives make the decisions.

Technocracy can also be seen as a plan for society where the technical aspects of society are run by those who are skilled in those areas. The plan would see the replacement of capitalism, money and the free market with a more rational means of allocating and managing the resources of society to maintain a high standard of living for the longest time possible.

There are no examples of a technocracy.

Usually it involves some incredibly new or much-coveted device with complicated instructions and/or really cool and modern features. In other words, an extremely addictive and prohibitavely expensive little gadget. (NOTE: can be used as noun or adjective).

ADJECTIVE: I broke up with my boyfriend because he cares so much about his technocrack telephone and how it works that he never actually calls me on it.
