That's the theme, and possiblty title, of a kinda article I'm working on for a magazine. It's about weird little human behavious that ten years ago would have been deemed either pure science fiction or just outlandish. But new technologies, medias and social interfaces have made them as natural to the early adapter of New Stuff, like running on a treadmill or recording an answer machine message must have been once.
Momolo is short for Mobile Monogamy Loneliness. What you get because you don't have a regular phone anymore, and your battery goes zap. Or what you achieve by shutting it off and claiming you are somewhere with a bad signal, when all you want is some peace and quiet. Tru that with your home number, and people will know you unplugged it, you anti-social freak.
Blopples are Blog Ripples, the way a rumor or news story spreads over weblogs, taken for much more face value than it deserves. This was done by mailing lists earlier, but most people have developed a helthy scepticism towards their inbox these days.
Proxyrotism is sexual over-idealizing of on-line aquaintances. People who imagine their cyber flirts as flawless, and who then can't be satisfied by what real life has to offer.
These three I just made up (Actually, I've heard about blog ripples before.) and I want to find more new century tidbits and memes like that. Got any for me like those? I'm looking for inspiration, folks.
