1. Someone who is so "technologically challenged" that they shouldn't be allowed within a 10 mile radius of anything electronic.
2. Someone who often misinterprets/gets confused with IT Support's suggestions/advice. Most Helpdesk operators would rather watch paint dry than talk to these users.

Someone who attends or graduates from Texas Tech University. Usually people who graduate or attend this school are called 'Techtards' since they probably werent smart enough to get into Texas' two most reputable schools Texas A&M, and The University of Texas.
His SAT scores were very low so Texas A&M and UT would not accept him, so he's a Techtard now since he has to settle for Texas Tech University.
