word power

i found this article in a magazine and learned some new and technical words. i find it rather astounding that these words exist.


* DIGITAL GLUTTONY

a more general term in a technical gadget, this is when a person craves for something more speedy, more capacity and has more technical features than the one he/she already has. when a person hungers for a more advanced (and usually more costly) device/gadget.


* TECHNOLUST

our dependency on technological devices/gadgets makes us lust or ogle over new stuff.


* SOFTWARE BLOAT

when a person acquires a bigger storing space, that person immediately tries to save everything that he/she can save onto it because he/she thinks that he/she can not actually use up all that space.



what does this make us? i mean, i work in an environment where we rely mostly on communication devices such as phones and celfones. requirements, call times, locations and other stuff are coordinated through calls and texts. if something goes wrong, we refer to our "sent items" to make sure that we did send out reminders to our artists. so we live in and by our celfones...hmmmn...


now, can you use these words in a sentence? 10 points for each sentence.
