Technophobia is the fear or anxiety related to technology and its rapid advancements. Individuals with technophobia may feel overwhelmed by new gadgets, software, or the internet, leading to avoidance of these technologies. This fear can stem from concerns about privacy, job security, or the impact of technology on social interactions. People with technophobia might struggle to adapt to modern devices like smartphones or computers, which can hinder their daily lives. This condition can affect anyone, but it is often seen in older adults who may not have grown up with technology. Addressing technophobia often involves education and gradual exposure to technology.
