The person may feel that the technology is just too intimidating, or simply not for him or her. There are two categories of technophobes in the medical world. The first and most common one is called the cognitive technophobe. This type of technophobia is internal, therefore it is harder to tell if someone is suffering from it. The other form of technophobia is called the anxious technophobe.
Anxious technophobes experience more of the traditional anxiety symptoms.
Within each society there is a break-down among the population that defines how adoptive someone is to technology. This group of people embrace technology and think that is fun. They expect that technology will have problems, and so when a problem occurs, it doesn t bother them. They look at it only as a challenge to overcome. This group is the largest, encompassing 50-60 percent of the population.
