Question

technophobe The new employee was a middle-aged technophobe, who seemed startled every time a new page popped up on her computer screen. ˈtɛknoʊˌfoʊb

Accepted Answer

One who fears or dislikes advanced technology or complex devices and especially computers. The condition known as technophobia got its name around 1965 (though its synonym Luddite had been around for a long time), and since then we've been flooded with electronic gadgetry. But even today few people actually understand any electrical technology more complicated than a lightbulb, so there's still plenty of technophobia around. And it isn't limited to computer users. The explosion of the atomic bomb made technophobes out of millions of people; and since human-caused climate change has been a result of technology, it's not surprising that it too has produced a technophobic response. But if technology turns out to be part of a solution, maybe that will change
