Technophobe

A technophobe is a person who has a fear or aversion to technology, particularly modern and advanced technology such as computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices. Technophobes may feel intimidated or overwhelmed by technology, or they may be distrustful of its ability to enhance their lives. They may also resist using or learning about new technologies, preferring instead to stick to more familiar or traditional methods of doing things. Technophobia can manifest in different degrees, ranging from mild discomfort to severe anxiety or phobia that can significantly impact a person's daily life.

There have been many famous people throughout history who have expressed fear or distrust of technology. Here are a few examples:

Jonathan Franzen: The author of "The Corrections" and "Freedom" has publicly expressed his aversion to technology, calling it a "totalitarian system."

Prince Charles: The Prince of Wales has been known to criticize modern technology and its impact on society, once referring to the internet as "a great danger."

David Bowie: The late musician was known for his love of art and culture, but he was also a self-proclaimed technophobe who didn't use computers or email.

John Cusack: The actor has publicly expressed his dislike for technology and social media, calling it a "nightmare of narcissism."

Werner Herzog: The German filmmaker has famously shunned modern technology, including mobile phones, email, and the internet.

Paul Theroux: The travel writer has written about his aversion to technology and social media, calling it a "disease of connectivity."

Neil Postman: The late cultural critic was known for his skepticism of technology and its impact on society, famously arguing that "technology giveth and taketh away."

Queen Elizabeth II - The late British monarch is known to prefer using a typewriter for her official correspondence and reportedly never owned a mobile phone.

Woody Allen - The filmmaker has famously stated that he doesn't know how to use a computer and prefers to write his scripts by hand.

Jonathan Franzen - The novelist has been outspoken about his dislike of technology and social media, calling them "a grotesque invasion of privacy."

Prince Philip - The late Duke of Edinburgh was known to be skeptical of technology and reportedly referred to the internet as "the electric loo."
