Surgical tech

The BADASS person in the operating room that keeps the surgeon from killing you. They make sure everything needed to make the surgery run smoothly is in the room. They are the surgeon’s right hand yet they are unknown: the unsung heroes in scrubs. Sometimes they need to be a referee, carpenter, plumber, engineer, psychologist, babysitter, teacher, a hand holder, a smart ass, psychic, and a mind reader: jack of all trades, master of none.... except how to kickass and keep things running smoothly in the high stress OR.

I thought a nurse scrubbed in with the surgeon but it’s a surgical tech!

tech karma

A measure for how capable/lucky someone is with computers, gadgets and other technology. At one end of the scale, it's the Buddha-like ability to bend technology to your will and get it to do amazing things. At the other end, it's people who can crash an iPad just by looking at it.

Scarlett's been through 3 laptops already this year - she has terrible tech karma.

hermit tech

Modern technology (more specifically home computers and smart devices, audio/video chatting services, messaging services, and remote desktop apps) that allows someone to work in almost complete isolation - mostly in one's own home.

Well I guess I've been preparing for a quarantine for awhile now. With all of my hermit tech, I haven't set foot in an office for YEARS! My coworkers know I'm an email or phone call away, they just don't know exactly where I'm at - and they probably don't need to.

Clarke Tech

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"

"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 **
