Technophobia
Technophobia is the fear of modern technology. It is exemplified in popular
culture and thinking through movies such as Blade Runner and going back to
the book Frankenstein and further. Most real-life examples of it are far
more sedate, running from fear of learning to use a computer to opting to
withdraw cash at a live bank teller rather than an Automatic Teller Machine
(ATM).
Several groups are often said to be technophobic, notably Luddites and the
Amish. Sometimes, businesses and environmentalist groups trying to prevent
the spread of a technology are also called technophobic by opponents.
