I'm really enjoying the direction of this thread.

TAD may work. Tadaholics? TAA?

There's always someone in the office or "org" that is happy to be on the "bleeding" edge of the tech market. I worked years for a manager who was and probably still is like this. His contributions to the knowledge base of what is useful and what is garbage was definitely under-acknowledged.

Technology has it's place, but I too find myself switching off of the "matrix" every once in a while.

Good dial-phone anecdote. I hadn't realized that the tech-dependency has become this severe or obvious.
