Technophobia is a rare phobia involving a panic reaction or rejection of technology, even as technology advances rapidly. The real cause of technophobia is still unknown as it is a very rare syndrome affecting only a few people. Research found that the Amish community in the USA, who have chosen to live simply without new technology, are one of the only truly technophobic groups. To overcome technophobia, it is best to confront the fear with professional psychiatric help rather than avoidance.
