'''Technogypsie''' (also '''Techno-Gypsie''' or '''Techno Gypsy''') is a term for a modern day [[nomad]]ic person who balances the arts and sciences in their lifestyle. According to Technogypsie artist Leaf McGowan,<ref name=Baurley>Baurley, Thomas; McGowan, Leaf; et al. "Techno-Gypsies, Techno-Tinkers, and Techno-Nomads". 2005: Technogypsie Productions, Seattle, Washington.</ref> one of the [[Chief Executive Officer]]s (CEO's) of Technogypsie.com,<ref name=Technogypsie.com>Technogypsie.com.  Website referenced December 2011.</ref> the term was created by [[Anthropologist]] Thomas Baurley in the early 1980s during his [[ethnographic]] studies of modern day nomadic peoples, especially those traveling with a "technology" job and "artistic" skill.
