Technophrenic

Technophrenic is the Schizophrenic behavior of people who appear to be talking to themselves, but are really using a Bluetooth earpiece to talk to their stockbroker, friend, fellow work, ex-wife, dog, children, podiatrist, or anyone else who will stay on the line with them while they roam about doing God only knows what.

He ain't crazy, he's only Technophrenic. See the Bluetooth in his ear. He's yelling at his {Insert choice here}.

Technophenia

Technophenia is a condition in which a techno geek exhibits rapid changing technology fan boy enthusiasm for the latest technology fad before moving on and bashing that same technology.

Often found to be an early adopter of social media sites and as quickly deleting their account only to return again when new functionality is introduced.

The term is a tribute The Who's classic rock album Quadrophenia and the protagonist Jimmy's four personalities.

Technochronic

A person who always keeps having strange unexplainable issues with their computers, smartphones and other devices etc., not because it is their fault or he/she is dumb. (not to be confused with technophobe)

There is always a (at least one) technochronic person in every company with whom the IT support just doesn't wanna deal with. You just cant find how to fix their IT issue which no one else is having.

Technophrenia

A pathological state of detachment from social reality, most often in the technological elite class, caused by extreme insulation due to incredible wealth and existing in an echo chamber where the correctness of the afflicted individual is continuously affirmed, leading to grandiose, impractical uses of influence and resources in pursuit of solving problems that do not exist.

"Tim Cooks technophrenia is out of control, he actually believes that people will wear his goggles into meetings."
