techno-fugue

A modern disorder characterized by reversible amnesia for personal identity, including the memories, personality and other identifying characteristics of individuality due to the purchase of a new gadget such a last generation iPhone.
The state, accompanied by the establishment of a new identity, is short-term. After recovery from techno-fugue, previous memories usually return intact, however there is complete amnesia for the entire episode.

In my techno-fugue state, staring at my new iPhone the way I once glanced at humanity, with interest and anticipation, I nearly knock down toddlers and the elderly, lost in my newly acquired identity.
