Pronunciation: /ay-need-mahy-speys/

Sentence: Although everything worked great when she'd first connected it, and Sheila's laptop was now only a year old, lately it had been experiencing performance problems, and even more frustrating, it would often suffer from memory errors and forget her preferences. She was now disenchanted with the relationship — a classic case of Ineedmyspace.

Etymology: Compound word: "I need my space" - common statement used in troubled relationships; and a pun on 'MySpace' - the social networking website.

Pronunciation: əˈclik shən

Sentence: PeeCee has a serious aclikshun. As much as she hates it, she just can't separate herself from her computer. She has given up eating breakfast to play some silly little online word game every morning. She was so aclikted that she has lost the ability to talk to anybody face-to-face. She tried to sign up for a computer-aclikshun class but couldn't get her calendar program to work correctly. Last weekend, while having dinner with her kids, Doc and Giffer, she placed her order by e-mail. Thank goodness for Wi-Fi. She had trouble accepting her divorce from Mac until he sent the papers to her as a .pdf file.

Etymology: addiction (the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing, or activity) + click (in computing, an act of pressing a mouse button)+ shun (persistently avoid, ignore, or reject)
