Technophobia
Pronunciation: \ˌtek-nə-ˈfō-bē-ə\Function: nounDate: 1965: fear or dislike of advanced technology or complex devices and especially computers
I can promise you that you probably won’t find an online community of people that have this phobia. Technophobia is more common among the elderly, though some of the younger people get it as well (though very rare). For the younger crowd it’s usually a fear of technology updating. You spend all this time training on one type of machine or computer for it to be taken away and you have to get use to another in a short time.
Technophobia is actually not a new phobia and didn’t start when computers became popular and in everyone’s home. There is evidence of Technophobia all the way back to dawn of the Industrial Revolution as Luddites in 1811 believed that technology was destroying our world and civilization.
This is seen in a lot of Science Fiction novels like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or the silent film Metropolis.
