定義: (adj) A code-mixing term that Hong Kongers use to describe something that is very unadvanced in technology. There is a famous quote that goes "High Tech揩野，Low Tech撈野", which describes the volatility of high-tech products as opposed to low-tech products that have a larger market despite high competition. '撈' refers to '有得撈', which means you can earn a living.
用法: E.g. 今時今日唔可以再咁low tech架喇。快D買返部智能手機啦。
