technocrasshole 

The word « technocrasshole » is a slang corporate word to define a growing type of workers in corporation and professional settings. These workers hide their incompetency behind laws, processes, financial reports and the like. Since technocratic tools and expert jargon are on their side they believe that they possess the truth and that the rest of the universe is composed by unknowledgeable people. Technocrasshole cannot demonstrate any type of creativity, create “red tape” where none is required and enjoy creating “work-generating” useless processes. While in fact they are the direct antithesis of efficiency, their arrogance pushes them to try to expand their technocratic view throughout the organization causing irreparable harm to it. As a result, technocrasshole’s speeches successfully allure the other technocrats, the incompetents and “Wally” of the office. This is what makes them more dangerous than the typical low-profile technocrat. The net result of the technocrasshole’s influence is a deterioration of the level of efficacy within an organization.
Unfortunately for the corporate world, incompetent Lawyers, Accountants, Quality Assurance experts and Consultants often become Technocrasshole.

Technocracy 

Technocracy, the politico-economic movement, advocates the optimization of the welfare of human beings, by means of scientific analyses and engineered action. It does not limit itself to established economic, political and administrative forms, but considers those as human artifacts subject to optimization. As a result, the group's reforms seem quite radical to many people.

Technocracy advocates an economic system in which production is run at full capacity at all times, and purchasing power equal to the productive capacity is evenly distributed to all. The organization claims that this will guarantee both well-being and security for all.
A government or social system controlled by technicians, especially scientists and technical experts.

No country has ever been a true Technocracy, this is a hypothetical type of government.

Technocracy 

A form of government where those who are skilled rule.

“Those who are skilled” is often taken to mean scientist and engineers; however, that is not necessarily the case. A technocracy is a hypothetical system of governance where those who are skilled in a particular area make the decisions for that area, so a person who is skilled in the area of health would manage the heath system and someone skilled in defence would make the decisions for the defence of a state rather than having elected representatives make the decisions.

Technocracy can also be seen as a plan for society where the technical aspects of society are run by those who are skilled in those areas. The plan would see the replacement of capitalism, money and the free market with a more rational means of allocating and managing the resources of society to maintain a high standard of living for the longest time possible.
There are no examples of a technocracy.

Technochondriac 

Someone who assumes that a device or particular piece of technology that they own, is either suffering or will suffer a fault or known issue.

Often a technochondriac will read an article on a device they own and will find out a number of 'known faults' and will then expect their device to suffer the same issues - sometimes telling people that it currently does, in anticipation.

A technochondriac is also prone to confusing their lack of product knowledge with a fault. Very common in those that a middle aged.
Dad: "So son, how you enjoying that new Nokia N82 that I bought you. I'm really liking mine!"
Son: "Yeah, its cool now that I've flashed the unit with the latest version 11 firmware - that fixed the 'camera freeze' issue that I was experiencing. All good now."
Dad: "Yeah, I'm having that same fault so I must get around to updating mine."
Son: "Ummm... no your not. You are such a technochondriac - you just keep forgetting to open the camera shutter causing that slight delay. Your phone is fine!"
