Unless an individual is willing to isolate him or herself from the rest of the world, technophobia has to be cured. In a society interlocked with technology, technophobic individuals will not be able to function effectively in such a world. An individual's success in the future will depend on his or her ability to operate in a technological society. Not being able to cope with technology can leave an individual behind in his or her career. Not only does technology control our ability to function in the corporate world but it also influences our education.
Technophobia can be an obstacle to using technology in the classroom to improve learning.
Technophobia can also prevent college students from choosing classes that require the use of technology. A technophobic student would not be able to take classes where they have to use computers, the internet, etc. With the growing use of technology in classrooms, technophobic students will not be able to learn well or succeed in academics. Different cultures and countries react differently to technology. It was found that in countries that had governments that value technology, have less technophobia.
