Dedication
This study is wholeheartedlydedicated to our
beloved parents, who have been our source of
inspiration and gave us strengthwhen we thought of
giving up, who continually provide their moral,
spiritual, emotional, and financial support.
Acknowledgement
I would like to thank the all library media specialists for
their participation in the survey who supported my
work in this way and helped me get results of better
quality. I am also grateful to the members of my
committee for their patience and support in
overcoming numerous obstacles I have been facing
through my research
Abstract
In this research I will do searching about the fears
and the concerns of using a computer for some people
who do not know much of the computer problems and
how to be totally safe with it.
INTRODUCTION
What do you fear most, more than anything else? Perhaps you
hate social media, or you don't like taking selfi. Maybe the
thought of giving someone your phone makes you nervous.
Everyone is afraid of something. These fears are all normal;
lots of other people feel the same way that you do. The
problem of computer phobia or techno phobia has been
widely researched over the last few decades, and in spite of
consistent findings, a series of myths have been perpetuated.
For example, it was commonly and erroneously believed that
women are more computer phobic than men, that older
people are more computer phobic than younger people and
that students are less computer phobic than non-students.
Many studies have shown that when previous experience is
controlled for, the between group differences disappear.
Moreover, it has been found that the percentage of students
who can be classified as computer phobic (ranging from low
to high), has been around 25%, and this does not differ
substantially from the normal population.
OBJECTIVES
What am I trying to achieve?
The study has been conducted with followingmain
objectives: -
- To study the fear of using a computer.
- To know the treatments of using a computer.
- Finally,to feel safe when using a computer.
Statement of the problem
Many people suffer from anxiety when facing difficult computing
tasks. Different people respond differently to phobia of using
computer.
Regarding of financial costs of the problem that there is non except if
he wanted to go to psychologist and scientist approved that using
PCs could lead to colour or eye blindness.
Research Question
The research question is about How
to treat and find solutions for people
who have concerns in using the
computer..?
Significantand research outcomes Objectives
I have many main objectives but the most important
one is how to face the fear and feel safe while using
computer.
Research outcomes are set at the very start of a
project to guide the research. Their main role is to
ensure you gain insights that are relevant and useful
for phobia of computer.

Technophobia
Technophobia is the fear or dislike of advanced
technology. Or complex devices, especially
computers.
Although there are numerous interpretations of
technophobia, they become more complex as
technology continues to evolve. The term is
generally used in the sense of an irrational fear, but
others contend fears are justified.
Nomophobia
The fear of being without a mobile phone stems
from addiction. When a person feels physically or
mentally dependent on anything, s/he cannot find a
way of stopping that addiction.
People tend to experience this phobia when they are
insecure, or have lack of self-control and discipline,
get easily bored or impatient, or have no other
recreational hobbies and outlets etc.
Cyberphobia
Cyber phobia is a fear of working with computers.
People who have cyber phobia are afraid or not able to
learn new technologies. It is a type of specific phobia. It
was first used in 1985.
While many people feel completely comfortable using
computers, navigating the Internet, or installing
applications on their phones, others find themselves
terrified of these things — they have some degree of
cyberphobia.
Selfie phobia
With the popularityof selfies, it's no surprise "selfie
phobia"has become widely used. Althoughit has not been
verified by professionals, the term has been floating
around the Internet.
There are various reasons as to why people are selfie
phobic. Some may not think they are photogenic,while
others may see it as a cry for attentionor a superficial act.
NPR suggested a few present-day phobias,and selfie
phobic was first on its list.
Treatments the of computer phobia
Phobias are highly treatable, and people who have them are
nearly always aware of their disorder. This helps diagnosis a
great deal.
Speaking to a psychologist or psychiatristis a useful first step in
treating a phobia that has already been identified. If the phobia
does not cause severe problems, most people find that simply
avoiding the source of their fear helps them stay in control.
Many people with specific phobias will not seek treatment as
these fears are often manageable.
It is not possible to avoid the triggers of some phobias, as is
often the case with complex phobias. In these cases, speaking to
a mental health professional can be the first step to recovery.
Most phobias can be cured with appropriate treatment. There is
no single treatment that works for every person with a phobia.
Treatment needs to be tailored to the individual for it to work.
Materials and Methods
The locationfor my materialswould be on the internet and
by individualinterview, picture story or photo voice and
group discussions on websites for collectinginformation
and time scale research should be about 7 weeks.
Simply, my method for collecting and analysingwould be
targeting ages around18 years and above also searching
on the best recommended website and make interview at
coffee and internet shops.
Results
The percentage of computer phobia that concerns most
people with.
Table 1:
Discussion, conclusions and recommendations
Results reported in Table 1 demonstrate that, although 67% of
students reported no computer phobia, and 23% reported low
computer phobia, this still left 19% claiming to have moderate to
high computer phobia on the Computer Anxiety Rating Scale and
Computer Thoughts Survey measures respectively.
In conclusion, I found that phobia of the computer has been
seriously important subject to reconsider after the results that
we have seen above in table 1, I have contributed for this
research so we could feel safe when using a computer without
anxiety
There is no limitation on this research I suppose because
everyone I think wants to have and tell about these important
data for our generation
My recommendations for future work in this research that is to
make the life safe with using computer technology and know
how to use our computer and phones without fears and
concerns.
.
Ethical considerations
Ethicalconsiderationsduring the evaluationinclude:
Informed consent.
Voluntary participation.
Do no harm.
Confidentiality.
Anonymity.
Only assess relevant components
