TECHNO-PEASANT

One who works with technologically advanced machines, and yet does not understand how they work. This may be most accurately used to describe those who work all day on the computer, but have to call in the Sysop when their screen freezes. Example: I may work for a software company, but as a secretary I am merely a techno-peasant. In 1989, I became a Techno-Peasant when hired to do data-entry for the Federal Government.
