non-technie ?

[whl626]

i wonder if there is such word available to mean ' not so much as a technician ' or ' someone who doesn't know much about technical stuff '

Is there such a word ' technie ' used as slang to substitute ' technician ' in spoken English ?

I have heard techi. You may want to beat around the bush a bit and call it technologically challenged.

We often use "tech" to substitute for technician.

x-ray tech
hematology tech

The word "techie" means someone who is very interested or competent in a technical field.

Someone who doesn't know much about technical things is more difficult for one word. One could use "luddite" but "technology challenged" might be clearer to most.

Can I concort it as ' non-techie ' to mean someone uncompetent in the technical field then ?

Because we always refer to people who are not native speaker as ' non-native speaker'

This is how I think up the term.

I don't see why not. That's a pretty good suggestion. :wink:
