When someone from India cold calls you and says you have a problem with your "dextop" computer. They use scare tactics, such as the Event Viewer (eventvwr) and the Tree command in Command Prompt to try and convince you that you have a "wirus" on your "dextop." They ask you to pay a large sum of money for the "fixes," and if you don't pay, they try to put syskey on your computer, which locks you out of your computer. Popular topic for Youtubers and pranksters.

Get the virginia tech massacre mug.A phone line provided by companies so that they can say that they support their products and services. Their philosophy is that the longer you spend on the phone, and the more menus and people you talk to, the more you feel valued as a customer. On the other line you will find:
1) A person who is proficient in communicating to you how inferior you are to their intellect.
2) A person who lacks the language skills to communicate proficiently, but does their best to make you feel inferior to their intellect.
3) A recorded menu system that somehow manages to communicate your inferiority to its intellect.

Get the Tech N9ne mug.An ailment caused by losing or breaking a cell phone or mobile device resulting in complete loss of phone numbers and other information of friends and family, mainly caused by the fact that people no longer have to remember phone numbers due to contact lists and speed dialing.

Get the Tech Amnesia mug.One who is constantly using their cell phone, iPhone, iPod or other technological device, seeming oblivious to the world around them, much like a zombie. Oftentimes they are/were restrained to children, tweens, or teenagers, (mainly the popular or rich ones) and people in the 20 year old age range. Though it has been spreading to 30 and 40 year olds recently.
Tech zombies are often sitting either in public, or they shy away from others, pecking away, texting their friends every detail of their lives and whats going on, whether it be at school, work, driving a car, etc. "Zombies" often frequent Facebook, Twitter, or similar sites 24/7, posting pics or sharing their new status like they do annually every hour or so. This often impairs their ability to drive, hold conversation, walk in public, learn... Just another addiction in our world, it seems.
It is unknown what will happen to these people when this technology is out of service temporarily, or possibly even when finally we enter another dark age and all is lost. Maybe they'll crack, maybe they'll go on psychotic rampages because they can't post the pic of the massive zit on their nose 2 hours before the prom, or maybe they'll survive, and just have piss-poor social skills.
