The accidental techie is usually a person who understands computers or office equipment better than most in the organization, and can figure out how to adapt the knowledge to the organization's needs. This is the go-to person for technology issues at an office that doesn't have or can't afford tech support.

Someone who is working in the technology sector and appears to be annoyingly down to earth and woke—likes rock climbing, wears athleisure, doesn't drink or smoke, goes to festivals—but who is in actuality a cog in an evil system designed to economically subjugate and displace their respective city's population of non-technology workers (low-income, POC, families, elderly, artists, public workers) by driving up rent prices, buying government officials, co-opting all formerly accessible and relevant cultural events, and straining existing infrastructure through privatization.
Ex. Techies are turning Seattle into the next San Francisco.

Get the Techie mug.techie stupid- is a word that is used to describe yourself or someone else that is extremely challenged and unable to properly use modern technology i.e. cell phones, ipods, computers gaming systems, etc. Some one who can never quite figure out "applications" and has to have help to start a facebook page. Some one who has to use their child as the IT/AV boy and has to call upon them to have help with all technology possibly even the Dvd player and who is still wondering "what the heck is blue ray?" Some one who wonders how modern life has left them behind and you think twitter is the sound a birdie makes.
