Munchausen Syndrome by Technology

When an IT worker, usually in a leadership role, deliberately messes up something that works well to make their job seem irreplaceable (i.e., the hero). Symptoms include front line staff and vendors running around frantically in a "sky is falling" scenario only to discover after great detective work and duress one pulled wire or misconfigured group policy, which was not that way yesterday.

"Check the cable?"

"The desk hasn't moved from this spot in ten years."

"Check it anyway."

"Well I'll be .... printer's working fine now! Fourth time this week. Peter was just here yesterday.... you thinking what i'm thinking?

Technology detox

When a person mysteriously (excluding them being dead or becoming the Little Prince, or other issues related to mental health) 🤔 ends- or suspends to near absolute zero-their soc-med presence.

I need a technology detox, now. A permanent one lasting more than 5-6 hours. Haha.

Technology detox

When an individual suddenly (for reasons other than death, a court order or becoming the Little Prince) decides 🤔to completely eliminate their social media footprint.

When you suddenly and for long periods of time ( ie more than 8 hours when you're not sleeping) decide to stop updating your social media feed, you've gone to technology detox.
