technogentsia

A social class of the creative technical elite and technophiles who thrive on driving broad adoption of internet, computer, and mobile technologies forward for the betterment of society and the free flow of information in a variety of cultural contexts. The technogentsia are often technical anarchists, eager to tear down old technical paradigms and replace them with new concepts in the name of progress.
Silicon Valley culture is largely driven by the technogentsia, whose relentless drive to push technology forward in social and political contexts has given rise to social media, crowd-sourcing, and widespread interactivity between devices and users.

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
