Techista

Someone who has to have the latest and greatest technology; especially someone who shows off the newest features of how the gadget is better than others.

Kevin was being such a techista earlier, he brought home that new iPad and wouldn’t shut up about it!

techsist

Prejudice or discrimination on the basis of a person's technical ability. Assuming that the least tech savvy person must be at fault for the technical difficulty encountered.

Just because I don't hand-code HTML doesn't mean I can't vote you techsist pig!

Turns out it was a kernel panic, grandma. That was techsist of me to assume you broke it with your oldness.

Techcist

When software assumes you want, or typically forces you into, maximum bells and whistles upon first install/upgrade and potentially even restricts you from shutting down said options/bloatware that it has acquired over years of unnecessary releases that add junk instead of real value.

The act of trying to force a software user to conform to the developer's ways of imagining the software should be used.

Have you seen the latest popular chat program I was just forced to upgrade? Now it's wanting me to also sign in to my Twitter & Face Book accounts every time I start it. And it's trying to run full screen? This thing is so techcist now!

“When my phone died and I couldn’t remember my best friend’s number, I had a full-on techxistential crisis.”
