TECHNOPHOBIA - Irrational Fear of Technology

in #technology10 years ago (edited)

This irrational fear, usually comes from scientifically illiterate people or people who feel that their lifestyle may be threatened by new technology.
Most of people take technology for granted, failing to understand that it is inseparable part of human existence and evolution. We cannot exist without technology. Introduction of primitive technology by certain homininae stimulated evolution towards Homo Sapiens.
If you think that you can survive without technology, then try to live in wilderness without clothing, shelter and any tools (and without creating any tools - primitive technology).
You can attempt to look for illusionary emotional comforting by deluding yourself through all sorts of beliefs/ideologies - religious, political, "spiritual", pagan, wishful thinking, tribal, you name it - but these will not protect you from environment and satisfy your basic human needs. You may even be evolution denier, but it still does not change the fact that you won't survive without technology. Only science and technology will satisfy your basic human needs.
Everything man-made, around you is technology: house, pen, bed, medications, food production, food processing (cooking), water sanitation, clothes, books etc.
Technology and science is neither negative nor positive, or so called "good" or "evil". These are only tools. It is up to humans how they apply it.
You can apply it for betterment of humanity or to fuck things up. It's that simple.
