technopolis

1)A metropolis that is littered with high technology like computers and robotics to the point it becomes part of the city's culture and/or religion.

(Today's cities only display the early stages of this phenomenon in the form of large TV screens, lights, people with robotic prosthetic limbs and various other technolgies.)

2) A technopolis is a city where robots and cyborgs are so commonplace that complex computers, robotic parts and artificial intelligence programs can be seen in trash bins and/or are sold freely on the street.

3)A common setting in science fiction stories.

Tokyo may become a technopolis in the future (if it isn't already).

Any 'Future Tokyo' in an anime likely IS a technopolis.

technoholic

a person that is addicted to buying the newest technical devices like mobile phones, dvd-players or plasma-screens. These things are not bought because they are really needed, but instead because of their design and the fact that they are state-of-the-art. If the person doesn't manage to find himself something new for a longer period of time, he/she has to suffer from withdrawal.

Man, my dad is a real technoholic. Yesterday he bought himself a new mobile although he already got 5.

technopolitical

Based on or motivated by partisan or self-serving objectives when it comes to choosing a technology to implement a solution (rather than using sound business justification in terms of return on investment or overall fit within an organization).

It's strange, but it sounds like it was a technopolitical decision for management go with PHP even though all our other systems are ColdFusion.

I got a technopology from my boyfriend who obviously doesn't want to apologize in person.
