Apparatgeist
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Etymology: Pseudo-Germanism, derived from Apparat (“apparatus, device, machine”) + Geist (“spirit”). Perhaps influenced by zeitgeist. Coined by American communications academic James E. Katz.

James Katz, a professor of communication at Rutgers University in New Jersey, argues that there is an Apparatgeist (German for "spirit of the machine"). For personal communication technologies, he argues, people react in pretty much the same way, a few national variations notwithstanding. "Regardless of culture," he suggests, "when people interact with personal communication technologies, they tend to standardise infrastructure and gravitate towards consistent tastes and universal features."
