ABSTRACT
The future is not something we travel to; it’s something we build. (Wired, 1996)
INTRODUCTION
The impact of technology is not only studied within psychology. Both sociology and cultural studies provide interesting analyses of the impact of technology. This chapter will provide an insight into the broader issues associated with the technophobia topic. The remit of this book only allows for brief coverage to some interesting ideas. The purpose of this chapter is not to provide a comprehensive analysis of additional perspectives, but to contextualize the psychological perspective taken thus far.
