Nor does it make you technophobic. Usually, technophobia is tied to a person's life experience and how he or she was introduced to technology. The answer is that there is no statistical difference between men's and women's fear of technology. With the shrinking difference between the fear of technology felt by men and women, the number of women on-line has increased. But it seems that there is no evidence to support that any group is more prone to technophobia than another.
All groups demonstrate that they are all equally technophobic and equally technophilic.
The highest predictor of whether or not an individual will be technophobic is the attitude of the introducer of technology for that person. Although an introducer may understand what they are teaching very well, they can still be very uncomfortable with technology. Often, teachers transfer their anxiety towards technology to their students. We are often told that as kids learn about computers in the classroom, they will be less fearful of technology as they grow older. Technophobia is a fear, which must be overcome because in modern society technology can not be avoided.
