technoboomer

Anyone who fondly remembers the early days of the internet and rejects newer tech trends like smartphones, tablets, or short form video. A technoboomer isn't necessarily actually old, but they act like a boomer in any conversation about any tech trends that started in the past 15-20 years. They're often found talking about the "good old days" browsing niche forums or newgrounds.

If your favorite operating system is Windows XP you're probably a technoboomer.

technobollox

Completely inaccurate drivel relating to technology or something of a technical nature, which is spouted by someone who either doesn't completely understand the subject they're talking about, or has heard a few key buzzwords and gone off on a spasmodic frenzy of scaremongering and sensationalisation. Quite commonly encountered in professions such as IT, Engineering, etc. People who actually understand and work with the technology being discussed can spot technobollox a mile away, and will often thwart and ridicule the perpetrator by introducing real facts to the discussion.
Sadly this doesn't prevent technophobes from being sucked in and their ignorance increased by this menace.

Person A: "Some guy at that management seminar told our CEO that BlackBerry devices can calculate next week's lottery numbers, now he wants one!"
Person B: "What?! he's talking technobollox again!"

Technobollox victim: "Don't install that 'Windows XP', my friend told me that it will steal all your data, kick your dog, and send your bank account details to Micro$oft!!!!!!"
Engineer: "That is complete and utter technobollox"

technosober

(Noun) To be technology sober, or in other words to refrain from using technology after it has become an obsession or addiction in ones life. (Verb) to go through a process of weening off a technology addiction such as Iphones, ipads, Computers, TV, Xbox, wii (if your like 5 years old, which is pretty sad to be reading this if you are), playstation, the internet, facebook, twitter, youtube, and oh yah myspace I guess for whoever still uses that. To go technology sober is a big decision in ones life since practically everything in the world revolves around technology, so it is clear as to why so many people have this addiction. One might want to check into rehab. Even interventon has run TV shows on people with such addictions.

Caring friend: "Why dont you get your ass out of the chair and off of Hulu, stop collection unemployment, and go find a job!!!!"

Guy: "I cant, Im just not ready to go technosober yet...."

Nerd: "So John have you checked out the new eHarmony website? its really awesome ive met lots of hot girls."

Other Nerd: "No I deleted my account right after I became technosober because it was killing me."

Nerd: "Wow you have guts kid."
