n. One who can't, or who refuses to walk the bleeding edge of technology, preferring old, reliable tools. I.e. one who shuns PDAs for notebooks, pencils and pocket calendars; would rather meet in real life than on MySpace; and who'd still shoot with cameras which require film. A Luddite.

Stephen retrobates every time he thinks about all the almost-clever things he said to his cyber friends back when they were still speaking to him. He is such a retrobater!
