What's a job like that pay?

Is there an electronics equivalent for the term "brogrammer" - a programmer who goes out to bars and desperately tries to conceal that he does a nerdy job and pretends like he's a baller or works in finance or something?

Sadly, that's probably me...

Yet, their universe revolves around Apple. They just don't understand where it came from.

They understand perfectly well where it came from, it's just not a universe they want to be associated with, for reasons of class/status/coolness.

80k+ cars are as common as chips around here...could 90% of the drivers explain to you the principles of operation of their vehicle, or even change a flat tire? Of course not. Such things are beneath them.

Building electronics and writing code is "labor." The aristocraticy isn't down with "labor." Avoiding that stuff is why they got their masters in political science.

"Tech savvy" means that they can download and play phone apps and use Twitter.

I see that here, Fumbling with phones all day. And some guys don't take the job if they can't get internet access.

I do have a new phone (android/goggle/ trakphone) it's got apps and a camera, and it's much easier to text my daughter now. GH

Me neither. I swapped stories at breakfast this morning. I found a phone in the road at a stop sign. I couldn't get into the address book so I thought I'd wait till it rang. It rang, I didn't know how to answer it. I had to ask someone that used a smart phone and wait for the next call. One of the other guys wife was given a phone, she got it setup with a card. They were setting a the table when it rang, neither one could figure out how to answer it. My flip phone is fine.

Yep, texting from my flip phone is a PITA.

My son bought me the phone for x-mas, ~$50-60 I think. I pay $100 a year to tachphone. (excuse my spelling mistakes) I can connect via wifi, which is free internet in my world. The camera is OK.. it likes a lot of light... (big surprise) And yeah flip it sideways and you get a key pad that it not impossible.. I have small hands.

I carry my phone (hot spot) with me. I don't use their Internet for personal business. Big brother *is* listening.

Telepmone tech support? less than the other kind of telepnone service I expect.

Whenever I try to explain what I do it ends up

"so you work in IT"?

that's a painful concept. You must learn to lose all respect for fashion.

When I used to say I design chips, they'd look at me funny and say, "_Potato_chips?"

So I've taken to saying "microchips", and now they say, "You design computers?" :-(

So now, at cocktail parties, I'm just "retired"... it's too much work to try to communicate with the ignorati. ...Jim Thompson
