So I was describing in an email the fat that anything electronic or digital has failed me recently, leading to the need for a new computer and phone, but also involving TV, printer, scanner, wi-fi... I could go on.
I coined the word 'technocalypse' to describe the situation.

But what was worrying was that my spell-check didn't query the new word.

That would make a good metal song title. Or metal band name. Or novel name. Or videogame name. You should fill in papers for a copyright :-$

On the main point, Jonesy always adds a fresh and often novel approach to Life. Thanks, Jonesy.

Put the word 'technocalypse' out there in more prominent Social Media sites so that you can claim to be THE ONE to coin the term...! :D That is my suggestion, Jonesy.

btw: And apparently your spell check did not find the TWO errors I see upon my cursory read here. Professor RP JP :D :)
