digerati
Silicon Valley cognoscenti
Digerati are the elite of the digital world—people with exceptional expertise in computers, the internet, or technology generally.
The term blends "digital" with "literati," suggesting an influential class of tech-savvy insiders: The digerati predicted the smartphone revolution years before it happened.
It was popular in 1990s tech journalism and now sounds somewhat dated.
