“Technophobia is a pretty easy word to break down: fear of technology, specifically of advanced computers or other devices and a belief that they will lead to humanity’s ruin. Although a technophobe sounds like a neo-Luddite, it actually goes a lot deeper than that. What’s more, technophobia pops up in movies far more often than you might think. The easy target when it comes to tech-based movies are those films that show an egregious misunderstanding of how the Internet works, or that show older generations struggling to get along in a digital age. But real technophobia deals with tech gone awry, taking over a person or city or world in order to execute its own lethal agenda. The films [here] are some of the most technophobic ever made, though some of the titles might surprise you. Next time you’re at the movies, keep an eye out for the real villain.” w/ videos”
