Technological hypnosis

A mental state in which overwhelming use of technology alters behavior usually negatively, but not exclusively negatively in relation to social functionality.
The men and women lost interest in one another. Instead of taking each other out on dates they stayed home and played with their Iphones.

Joe was really trying to get Sally's attention by making eye contact. She was making love to her Iphone so much she didn't notice.

Although there were 20 people sitting together in a room, they all were on their Iphones and wouldn't talk to one another. They were in a state of deep technological hypnosis.

Crazy Technology

Crazy technology means common shortcuts or very basic skills (simple technology) that blows someone’s mind. It can also be applied to broader scenarios like anything you find amazing but quite common to others.
Origin: When we were doing a group assignment at uni, a team member tried to fit a table in a page but it didn’t work because that table had too many columns. Then the team show him how to switch that page to landscape. Then he said “Oh that’s crazy technology!”

Example1: Context: An excel guru colleague showed me how to auto resize all both width and height of excel spreadsheet. He selected all first and then clicked any boundary in the selected area. Then the whole spreadsheet was auto-resized. Before I learned about this, I manually resized spreadsheet by clicking each boundary. So this is “Crazy Technology”.
