Textualattension: /tekst tuall at ten shun/ Mimi’s main social interactivity was that which she played out everyday by texting, e-mailing and on-line networking with her friends, family and people from long ago and far away who looked her up. She spent so much energy and time doing this, that she failed to allot enough to meet suitable young men. As a result she was lonely and suffered from textualattension. If she lost her communication tools, she would be lost in learning how to connect with real humans. Maybe it was time to contact e-Harmony and let them find her a mate. How the heck did her parents ever meet and marry in the Dark Ages, she wondered… Etymology: Textual (of or relating to or based on a text…written word used on cell phones, blackberries to communicate and network electronically) & Attention (the work of caring for or attending to someone or something) & Tension (a state of mental or emotional strain or suspense) & Play on Sexual Tension (wink, wink, nod, nod) Created by: Nosila.

Thumbunicate: /θəmyoÅnÉ™kÄshÉ™n/ Joyce*s friends are worried. Ever since she acquired her Blackberry she has stopped talking. Many of her friends haven*t seen her in months. She thumbunicates with them on a regular basis, sometimes dozens of times a day but can*t seem to manage a real world interaction. For all they know she is squirreled up in her mother*s basement with a case of Cheetos and several six packs of Rockstar. An intervention may be in order.

Socirtuality: /so-sir-tchu-al-i-ty/ Jenna networked with her friends so much that she developed her very own socirtuality where everthing revolved around her and what she thought and felt. She communicated constantly with her bffs and developed a relationship with a really cute boyfriend — at least his avatar was cute and he sounded really cute in his texts. She was so busy with her MySpace page, her Facebook page, her tweets and her second life that she forgot about her first life and real relationships. It got so bad that her family had to text her when her grandmother died. Etymology: society: totality of social relationships among humans + virtual: existing in essence, but not in it’s actual form + reality: the quality or state of be actual or true Created by: mrskellyscl.
