Digital Shoelaces

The very basic know-how of computer usage (or lack thereof).
" I swear to god, mate my auntie Kath will be the death of me. She begs (whines) for help over the same BASIC internet/computer functions over and over again, regardless of how many times I explain it to her! Some people just can't even tie their digital shoelaces if their bloody lives depended on it!

digital tyranny

The government's push for more and more surveillance online – things like banning encryption standards, banning mobile applications due to them providing high privacy standards, banning Virtual Private Networks (or severely restricting their usage), and various similar things.
The UK government is committing more and more digital tyranny as we speak: it is not reasonable to ban end-to-end encryption.

Digital Romance

A relationship that primarily takes place online with little to no physical or in person contact.

Typically takes place solely over the phone and includes romantic texts, talking about being together, and soon saying I love you, as well as starting a relationship with someone, all without actually meeting the person behind the screen.
Hey, did you ever text back that guy who dm’ed you?
-Nah, I’m not looking for a digital romance, I want something real.

That man made $150K from people who donated to him through his GoFundMe that said he was sick and needed cancer treatments, and come to find out he never even had cancer! Just another example of a Digital Panhandler.

digit blocker

After spending several hours chatting someone up online, person A asks for person B's phone number. Person B plays hard to get and indicates that person A just might be lucky enough to get the phone number so person A persists with hopes that person B will eventually give in. Person A SHOULD just give up because Person B is just playing hard to get and who has time for that?
Sam: Dave, ya know I think you're superfly and would enjoy having a chat on the phone, seeing how we've hit it off on the computer for about 12 hours now.
Dave: Um no, I'm just going to tease you for ages before you finally show zero interest in me. At that point, I might give you my number just to see if you still want it.
Sam: Why ya gotta be like that, you Digit Blocker.
