Techmoan

The term refers to the noise patterns produced by electronic equipment resulted from it's operation or function. Techmoan is a blend of "technology" and "moan" (to emit a moan-like sound) and is used to describe the acoustic aspects of modern electronic devices. Techmoans can vary widely in intensity, frequency, and character, depending on the specific technology in use. These sounds often stem from various components within the device, such as fans, hard drives, motors, or electrical circuits.

"The vintage arcade machine emitted nostalgic techmoans as it brought classic games to life, the sound a reminder of the gaming past."

"In the data center, the relentless techmoan of servers filled the room, with each server's hard drive contributing its own distinct rhythm."

"The techmoan of a 3D printer crafting the new design added an artistic touch to the otherwise silent workshop."

technodharmic

Characteristic of man-made innovations that have no natural analog, showcasing a divine-like quality of creativity and ability to transcend humanity’s base condition and reality.

diet coke is the technodharmic drink of choice because it is entirely synthetic, it has no taste analog in nature. it is a testament to the spark of divinity in man, evidence that we can prescind from our base conditions to mirror our creator in infinite creativity.

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.

Technochondriac

An end user who is, probably not intentionally, working against solving their own problem.

I tried to work with him but he is a real Technochondriac, solving the problem would be easier with him uninvolved.

Techgoraphobia

When your fear of the self-help kiosks at almost every business gets to a point where you fear leaving the house. You worry that you may have missed paying for one item at the grocery self-check-out and that the police are going to show up and let you know about it. You think you paid for something twice at another store. You are pretty sure that the line of people behind you at another kiosk were grumbling because you were taking too long. The only safe place to be is on your own couch. The safest place to get food is from the fridge or from grandma’s pantry.

I can’t run your errands. Techgoraphobia is real.

Techtard

People who think they're being scammed or hacked because of a visual technical issue.

John thought Bob was hacking him because his screen was taking forever to load over screenshare.
"John, stop being a techtard and have some patience."
