TECHNOPHOBE OR TECHNOPHILE
In our daily life we can find 2 types of technophobic people (A person who fears, does not like or
avoids new technologies.)
As we can see, these are two concepts as different as two opposite poles. Some of them prefer to
continue working with traditional methods and reject any type of technology. Instead, at the other
extreme, we find those who feel totally incorporated into the world of technology, convinced that
technology is equivalent to "evolution and progress".
I believe that we must control the use of technologies, that is, always give it an adequate use since
the extremes were never good. However, the clear presence of technophobia at school, work or at
home is worrisome to some extent because it can cause difficulties in the development of daily
activities. We cannot ignore technologies because they are in constant presence in our daily lives.
