tech whiteout

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.”

tech-recluse

The state of being so dependent upon communicating exclusively through technology, that one finds their self in what feels like a reclusive state.
Julie got fed-up with being so "tech-reclusive" that she broke down and got a land line, vowing to have actual voice conversations with her friends, family and loved ones.

Julie realized she had become unintentionally introverted because of her iPhone. She decided to break away from being a tech-recluse, and ordered land line service.

Tech Totalitarianism

When giant tech companies purposely skew search results and suppress viewpoints such as news and censor viewpoints which don't meet their objectives.
In a brazen and blatant act of Orwellian tech totalitarianism, firms such as Google, Facebook and Twitter purposely de-list and suppress news and opinions such as early reports of coronavirus in Wuhan and later in the 2020 US election -- in order to support their narrative and corporate objectives, as well as affect outcomes and people's thoughts. While pretending to care and virtue signal, their true objective is to 'memory hole' any counter thinking and control people like sheep so they can have an absolute monopoly and unquestioning supremacy over society.
