A noun to describe technology so far advanced beyond known science, it might just as well be considered magic.. or to quote the famous science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke from his 1962 book "Profiles of the Future: An Inquiry into the Limits of the Possible":
"Any sufficiently advanced technology that is indistinguishable from magic"
"Any sufficiently advanced technology that is indistinguishable from magic"
"Man, how does magic even work in fantasy like Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones or The Colour Of Magic?"
- "I don't know man.. it might have been left by an even more ancient civilization that works via technology embedded in the fabric of spacetime itself that can be accessed by special rituals, certain movements, chemical reactions or interpreted language patterns in the form of sound waves or thought patterns even.. all that that magical shit in fantasy might be science fiction dialed up to 42 on a scale of 1 to 10, basically classifying it as Clarke Tech."
"Whoah.. that shit is deep.." ** takes another bong hit **

Get the Tuck Tech mug.A tech whiteout occurs when your office experiences or you experience a complete meltdown of the technology you rely on to run your enterprise or life.
“All we did was call in one of our techies and the next thing you know we had a total tech whiteout in our office: our entire network crashed, our VoIP phones wouldn’t work, in fact, you couldn’t even log on to your own local workstation since even that is controlled by the network. These days the Internet is so in-grained into our work flow for: data storage, social networking, running our websites, operating our phones, running applications, communicating with our clients, etc., that when our network isn’t working, we might as well send everyone home. The only thing that was working was the one old analog phone line we keep around for our fax machine.”
