Technophobes vrs Technophiles
 Technophilia:
 This term was coined by American sociologist and cultural critic Neil Postman. Techno = technology and philia = love, sympathy, or love of technology. Postman also defined a new human being, the technophile: "those who view technology as a lover to his beloved, seeing without blemishes and without harboring any fear the future." Regarding the behavior of technophiles psychologists say there are different degrees of Technophilia dependence according to the technophile to develop technologies and that this can become an obsession.The technophiles are all over the world and usually with much purchasing power struggle to fill their empty interiors acquired in the form of pre-different items, especially electronics. They are the ones who have made long lines and slept in tents in Colombia and countries around the world to buy the latest versions of the various products of the brilliant silver apple of Steve Jobs, or other brands in the minds of lofty humanity.

 Technophobes: 

Who assume an attitude of rejection towards the latest technologies. These people have come to the place as technological illiterates who by their very condition flatly reject technological advances are not able to productively approach to these developments and in some cases fear them.Tick ​​to a technophobic person has become one of the new languages ​​to attack and incidentally encourage unbridled consumerism. Following the break time ICT with all its benefits many sectors of humanity are dismissed as technophobes because their inclusion in the new digital era is not as fast as others would for economic or educational and cultural training.
