Technophobia
The fear of technology is a common complaint I come across regularly in my line of work.
The thing is, I’ve never really been particularly phobic about computers or technology, but I can say I have been a bit wary at times, especially when I don’t really initially understand something.
Personal computers have been around since the 1970s, but didn’t really become mainstream in business and homes until the late 1980s, and even then only the select few had them as they were still quite expensive.
I first came across PCs when I first attended university in 1992. It was a requirement that we had basic understanding of PCs to undertake the course. The thing was, nobody realised this until we had begun the course!
