ABSTRACT
The two chapters focusing upon the educational and occupational settings have both highlighted the need to actively address the issue of technophobia. If you perceive your technophobia to be problematic, this chapter offers some advice on what to do about it. If, however, you perceive avoidance of technology as a valid strategy of resistance (see chapter 8), this chapter does not mean to suggest that this is an erroneous perception. Indeed, rationalizing the resistance to technology would be excluded from the definition of technophobia (see chapter 1). The technophobe is someone who perceives their fear of technology to be irrational. There are some factors that increase the probability of successful technophobia reduction.
