'non-techie' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'techie,' a colloquial term for someone skilled in technology.

'Techie' emerged in the 20th century as a slang term for technology enthusiasts, and 'non-techie' was formed by adding the prefix 'non-' to denote the opposite.

Initially, it meant 'not a tech enthusiast,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
