Technological Boomer

A technological boomer is someone who rejects any type of proprietary software/device and has the purpose of “tracking” you. Their argument is that newer technology, especially software and Google/Apple (which are the main distributors) devices are made with the purpose of not only bloating your device with all sorts of useless features what you will not use, but also track every step you take. A technological boomer, in this case, would become an advocate for the use of non-proprietary/free and specially open source programs. They will always say that it is totally possible to use FOSS only and be able to ditch all the corporation crap. With this in mind, you will become more free, private and safer. These “evil corporations” will no longer be able to see the shady/explicit content on the websites you visit.

They also say that smartphones are evil (because they are controlled by these big corps.) and people should take a step back and return to the old days when we only had cellphones with no GPS/internet capability and stop with the use of social media because they make you addictive to them and actually get a proper life by raising up your arse and going outside and meet people in real life rather than giving all your data to a company that could use it against you if they wanted to.
Have you seen that Luke Smith guy on YouTube? Man, he is definitely a technological boomer! He is always saying we should stop using proprietary stuff and that these big tech companies are selling our data to advertisers.

technological act of god

If a gamma ray burst or solar flare is not to blame for an information systems failure(s) that no geek on this earth, working or idle, can possibly explain.

The event shall not be considered a 'true' TAOG unless an electronic payment system failure results in thousands or perhaps millions of individuals being catapulted into economic catastrophe.
Debtor "My pay wasn't direct deposited because of the (blank) crash and they can't cut me a cheque because they only do direct deposit"

Creditor "By saving a year's worth of take home pay as an emergency fund you would'nt be in this situation now would you.

Save money and think positive and stuff like this wouldn't happen to you. It is what it is - a technological act of god"

technological block

A Luddite, someone who has a wall in their head that will not allow them to filter in knowledge about how tech can help them. My mom wants to start an online business, but how could I help her when she has the technological block?

technology years

Like dog years. 1 earth/human year is equivalent to 10 technology years
me: This app won't work? you: what phone do you have? me: An iphone 5. you: Dude your phone died of old age a long time ago. 5 Technology Years is like 50 human years!

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.
