What is Irritech?
1.
The quality of irritation caused by malfunctioning technology.
It's a modern phenomenon, a vexing emotional state brought on in the era of cellphones, iPods, laptops, and the need for four remotes when watching television.
Otherwise good and easygoing people morph into wickedness, profanity and despair when they enter the wired darkness that descends when they feel irriteched.
Sam was irriteched when his files failed to download onto his iPhone.
The new accounting program at work is so poorly designed it can irritech even the biggest geek.
It was irriteching as hell when the Blue Screen of Death appeared on my laptop just as I was about to show some producers the film clip of my new documentary.
