Technically Incorrect offers a slightly twisted take on the tech that’s taken over our lives. This is the time we declare our independence. We proclaim our individualism. We rail against those who would subjugate us. And we certainly aren’t going to talk to Uncle Bilbo and that peculiarly coiffed lover of his at a 4th of July party.
