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.

Get the technologically challenged mug.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.

For most websites, the user is interacting with Bots as they seek assistance, not a human. If a bot communicates to users in the wrong context it is therefore, not a human to blame. Robots do mislead users to buy plug ins they don't need, for example as it is an upsell. Beneficial for the Corporate Giant. Not the user.
When the Corporate Giants of tech are allowing algorythms to trick thier users, not correcting falsified information given by bots, withdrawing money from users accounts, and not providing the service in which was intended, falsifying reality to our young and all the while the ones employed there don't allow thier children on thier own sites...it is Technologically abusive.
Taking advantage of humans, using their weaknesses, depriving users of personal accounts approx 10 days due to a lack of adequate staff. Humans using Robots to do thier dirty work to other humans. In some cases, tech giants are collecting money from accounts that they know the user has not used. They monitize and can see and hear you at all times ..they are taking your money the robots will then take blame.

Not only have I had to deal with the realism of a pandemic, but being left with no cell service or computer for 10 straight months, after enduring physical, psycological, emotional and mental abuse. I get back to civilization to realize the worst is just beginning as now i am being "technoligically abused and I actually think technological abuse is the worst form of abuse yet! How are we enforcing ZERO TOLERANCE CYBER BULLYING ? Whomever surfs the net is contradicting thier anti bullying belief, because we are ALL actually supporting it! Algarithyms are corporate giant bullies.
