Digerati |dijəˈrätē|


A user on the Accidental Creative website wrote the following in a comment on the topic of hands-on, pencil & paper writing versus writing on the computer.

He wrote: "…The corralling of an idea from concept to concrete is different in the age of the digerati and it can be difficult to maintain a sense of connection to our work."

I'd never heard this word or seen it used before. Nifty.

Digerati |dijəˈrätē|
plural noun
people with expertise or professional involvement in information technology.
ORIGIN 1990s: blend of digital and literati .

(New Oxford American Dictionary)
