Hopeless with Tech: Difference between revisions

Compare [[Walking Techbane]], which may wind up being ''the'' absolute worst-case scenario, and [[Evil Luddite]], who refuses to accept technology because of its perceived evil. Contrast [[Technopath]] and [[Gadgeteer Genius]].

 

{{examples}}

 

 

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==

* ''[[New Tricks]]'' has a gag like this every other episode (e.g. Brian setting up a twitter and having trouble with the wordcount limit).

* Castiel from ''[[Supernatural]]'' has a bit of this early on, as he isn't quite used to all the nuances of Earth. A pay phone confuses him quite a bit.

** And, when someone tries to call him and it goes to voicemail:

'''Castiel''': I don't understand - why do you want me to say my name? Hello? Hello? (*sound of mashing buttons*) }}

* Dowager Countess Violet of ''[[Downton Abbey]]''. Understandable for such an old person, but thrown into sharp relief by the fact that it's the tech of [[The Edwardian Era|a hundred years ago]] that flummoxes her.

** This is arguably [[Fridge Brilliance]]: she's used to (or designed by/for) such a high level of technology that working at lower levels is initially very difficult to get accustomed to. Sort of like how most people who know how to use a cigarette lighter would be lost when given tinder, steel and flint.
