WHAT DOES CYBERPHOBIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cyberphobia

Cyberphobia is a concept introduced in 1985, described as a specific phobia expressed as "an irrational fear of or aversion to computers" or more generally, a fear and/or inability to learn about new technologies. Some forms of cyberphobia may range from the more passive forms of technophobia of those who are indifferent toward cyberspace to the responses of those who see digital technology as a medium of intrusive surveillance; more extreme responses may involve anti-technological paranoia expressed by social movements that radically oppose ‘technological society’ and ‘the New World Order’. Suggested treatments include hypnotherapy, Neuro-linguistic programming, and medication prescribed for general symptoms of anxiety or phobias.
