Technochondriac

A person who, after using the web to research a minor ailment, convinces themeself (because so many other non-medical professionals have spoken about it with such authority in their blog) that they now have a disease of major proportion.

Becoming a hypochondriac is so much easier now with all the technology at hand!
Bill has a toothe ache, so decides to look up the symptoms online. After reading several blogs about people with the same symptoms, he realizes that it's not a toothe ache at all, but rather a full-blown brain tumor, likely in its final stages. Bill, himself, is now a full-fledged Technochondriac.

Technochondria

Not unlike hypochondria, but with reference to technological ailments, rather than medical.
technochondria is demonstrated by repeated reporting of technological errors that aren't really there, likely for attention.
Tech Support: That woman was in again today, gotta be the 12th time with that same printer and nothing's ever wrong. Must have Technochondria.

technocondriac

Someone who always assumes that something they have done is the cause of any technical problem that arises.

Never assumes that a bug, crash, communications outage or any other external issue could cause a problem and instead always blames ones self.

Often n00bs are technocondriacs until they gain a certain level of confidence.
n00b: Omg, I broke all of MSN!
g44k: No, the system is down again, you technocondriac.

Technocratic ascensionism

"Technocratic Ascensionism" is an idea that a person named "Kieran" made, so he can actually define his plan to assist upcoming generations with the gift of knowledge and wisdom.

Many may confuse this for "Intellectual Ascensionism" which Kieran describes as "A dumpster fire on wheels"

The idea for this plan came from his interesting time growing up, He believes that people at a young age lack a drive to improve themselves with wisdom and knowledge, The actions for this form of "Ascension" include

1. Assisting the receiver of this "Ascension" with problems they may be experiencing by giving them an opinion from a different prospective and/or giving them direct requests for what to do based on previous experiences.
2. The receiver of this "Ascension" at one point needs to go against some of knowledge given to them.
3. And finally the receiver of this "Ascension" needs to realize the use of this knowledge can benefit them immensely. (From part 2) and that they should be more open to receive any form of knowledge and/or wisdom.

The most desired outcome if for this is for the to continue the cycle by causing the receiver to gain desire to gain both, knowledge and wisdom to help others in the way they were helped.
Kieran: You should avoid doing that.
Brad: Why?
Kieran: Because it caused something really bad to happen for me.

*Brad proceeds to go against Kieran's advice and screws up spectacularly*

Kieran: told ya something bad would happen, You have just experienced Technocratic ascensionism from it's source.
Brad: Fine, I'll listen now.
