technological psychosis

Mental illnesses/delusion where a person texts or emails himself and carries on a conversation with oneself.
WFE: Honey, we need to talk.

Last night while you we’re sleeping, I checked your phone to see who you’ve been texting with daily for 2 weeks. I hadn’t heard you laugh or seen you that happy in such a long time. I was starting to worry that it might’ve been another woman. I’m sorry I doubted you, you’re not having an affair. You're just bat shit crazy! You’ve been carrying on conversations with yourself via text message.
It appears that your suffering from a severe case of technological psychosis.

Technological edging

Technological edging is the broad concept of intentionally delaying the practical use or possession of a technology in order to capitalize on potential new and better innovations of the technology. The term 'edging' brazenly refers to the sexual act of edging, meaning to delay orgasm in order to achieve a more satisfying ending.

Specifically, technological edging could mean holding out on buying a new smartphone or PC, even if you desperately need one, in order to capitalize on next year's advancements in consumer tech. In other words, people delay buying in order to not feel sad when the next best tech comes out, so they might as well wait for another year.

Technological edging can also apply to much bigger and broader ultimate goals, such as delaying future space exploration (on mars, the moon, etc.) in order to capitalize on the future impending innovations of science and technology. Such a move, in one's opinion, may be the wiser option.
Example 1
Friend 1: Omg the new Galaxy S20 looks dope! Are you gonna get it?

Friend 2: Nope, I'm practicing technological edging rn. I wanna delay getting a new phone so I won't complain about the next new phone being better than it. I already have the Galaxy S9 and it's still going well so.

Example 2
The postponement of Trump's plan for sending astronauts to the Moon might seem disappointing at first, but hey, at least scientists can technological edge it and benefit from potential new breakthroughs in their space tech.

Nanyang Technological University

Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is the second oldest university in Singapore and one of the most prestigious universities in Asia and on global metrics. The only thing she's better at than the National University of Singapore (NUS) is her engineering programs and students who aren't peeping toms.

By day, monkeys from the nearby jungle roam the halls stealing shoes and food from homeless undergraduates crying over useless ICC modules and unrelenting exams. By night, you can see students trying to bid for modules on a school website called STARS running on archaic digital infrastructure from a university that calls itself a technological university. Oh, you can also hear students having sex in their rooms.
Friend 1: Happy graduation bro! How was life like studying at Nanyang Technological University?
Friend 2: Thank you, brother. NTU was a very enriching experience and offered me an unparalleled education for my degree. I could have never asked for a better college.
Friend 1: Good to hear. I can't help but notice that you shaved your hair as well?
Friend 2: Oh no, my hair all fell out while trying to bid for classes on STARS.
