In terms of weird terminology, gtr consulting offers very curious concepts about the sociological impacts of emerging technologies. For instance, see their last report (see the pdf table of content):

• iJunkies - The world at the touch of a button
• Technomadism — Wireless life
• TechnoBling — Technology must look good in addition to working well
• Insulationships—How technology is mediating teens’ relationship with the world around them
• The Neighbornet—Teen world expanded on the net
• Ego Anglers—Looking for positive strokes on the net
• The Digital Disguise—Transforming identities on the net
• ACME Auteur—Creating, Producing & Directing on the net
• Life Caching—Memory replaced by knowing where to find it
• Brain Blur—Multi-tasking in 2006
• Dataddiction—Teens can’t live without the web
• The Chill-Challenged—Idle hands? Not today’s teens.

Of course, there is a lot of marketing frenzyness here, sort of having category to refer to subgroups, but the underlying rhetoric is interesting. Some trends appears: junkies+addiction / neighbornet+insulationships (creation of subgroups, do they talk to each other?) / disguise (ok maybe that's the way a person from one subgroup has to behave to take to another group / blur (the brain is blurred but what about the social bonds?) / eco anglers looking (the world is bad and they're looking for sth better?).

Why do I blog this? it's interesting to see how today's trends are reflected into language, with odd portmanteau concept.
