Technophobia is just another Misnomer to Me

The fear of technology will likely increase as artificial intelligence applications in practical existence continue to rise.

However, like homophobia, the term is much more a misnomer than anything else.

For example, I am not a proponent of the homosexual lifestyle. Though I don't hold it against others I think it is aberant behavior and this is simply my opinion.

This does not make me "fear" homosexuals; but I realize I certainly fall with some of their definitions of "homophobia".

I am a proponent of technology. While I could envision those worst case artificial intelligence scenarios described by Mr Musk and Dr Hawking in their admonitions regarding the portends of AI I cannot indulge in technophobia of the artificial intelligence variety because I have an understanding of the cause and effect relationships they are speaking of when they warn us of the dangers of AI proliferation.
 

Moderation in all things. I don't engage WiFi or other networked home controls because I don't want to give others the ability to exploit them.

This is not so much FEAR as caution for my own well being. I am in favor of some systems remaining manual. This is not to call automation a "bad" thing or to express fear of that technology.

It is merely personal preference due to what I know may be done in the correct set of circumstances.

Suffice it to say that technophobia is nothing I will ever experience because I don't feel that we will be sufficiently advanced in the area of AI or integrated systems automation in my life time.

I simply did not come along late enough in time to require any fear of technology. The fact that I decline to utilize or recognize obvious misnomers borne of our misrepresentative society and lackluster educators is neither here nor there.
