Technophilia and technophobia are the two extremes of the relationship between technology and society.

Technophobia is the fear or dislike of advanced technology or complex devices, especially computers. Technophobia has been observed to affect various societies and communities throughout the world. This has caused some groups to take stances against some modern technological developments in order to preserve their ideologies.

The technophobic view sees technology as a threat because of its inherent capacity to alienate individuals from our common humanity and shared social situation. In this view, technology obscures or distorts human nature, or technology creates circumstances in which people no longer have to interact face to face, allowing for a moral distancing that diminishes our obligations and responsibility to others.

Technophilia refers generally to a strong enthusiasm for technology, especially everything related with technology such as personal computers, cell phones, iPods etc...

Technophilia sees the technology like something positive and potentially improve life and combat social problems.
