Technophilia (from Greek τέχνη - technē, "art, skill, craft"[1] and φίλος - philos, "beloved, dear, friend"[2]) refers generally to a strong attraction for technology, especially new technologies such as personal computers, the Internet, mobile phones, and home cinema.[3] The term is used in sociology to examine individuals' interactions with society and is contrasted with technophobia.
On a psychodynamic level, technophilia generates the expression of its opposite, technophobia.[4] Technophilia and technophobia are the two extremes of the relationship between technology and society. The technophile regards most or all technology positively, adopts new forms of technology enthusiastically, sees it as a means to improve life, and whilst some may even view it as a means to combat social problems.[3]
Technophiles do not have a fear of the effects of the technological advancements on society, as do technophobes.[3] Technological determinism is the theory that humanity has little power to resist the influence that technology has on society.[5]
