Digital Impotence

This occurs when a user tries desperately to upload content to a social media site (photos, videos, status posts, etc.) but is unable to complete the process or "get it up" due to poor network connection or lack of good tech (eg. Apple).

Subsequent failed attempts to upload in rapid succession, especially over the course of a full day, will leave the user frustrated at their inferior technology and rife with feelings of inadequacy.

These negative feelings are further amplified if the content is "fresh" and has the capacity to generate a high degree of likes and shares. This leads to a loss of followers, and ultimately a deflated ego and sense of self for the user.
Jim: "For fuck's sake Rich, help me! Ever since I upgraded to iOS 10, I can't upload this video of Hilary Clinton giving Trump a limp dutch rudder."

Richard: "I'm sorry Jim, I cannot help you with your Digital Impotence."

Digital Serf

A Digital Serf is a person who lacks property or wealth, and yet has access to a wide range of Internet Enabled devices such as Smart Phones, Tablets PCs, Gaming Consoles, Laptops, and Net Books.
Like previous generations of the working class who lacked property and means, the Digital Serf still finds distraction from their dreary life, but unlike their historic comrades the opiate of the masses today is the every present Internet delivered on cheap, and often portable devices.

digital orgasm

That intense, all-consuming, eruptive feeling you get when you haven't met a person in real-life, only online (totally randomly or through mutual offline friends), but looking at their photos gives you an orgasmic sensation and sends shivers down your spine.

Know the one? ;-)

Well, that's "digital orgasm" for ya!

It tends to exponentially intensify the likelier it is that you will actually get to meet this person in real-life and experience a real-life orgasm with him or her.

So, no - it's not reserved exclusively to your online celebrity crushes. ;-)

Ultimately - it is a soul and mind sensation!
While looking at someone's Facebook or Instagram photos, thinking: "WoW, I think I just had a digital orgasm!"
