About a year ago, the show might be older, I heard Grant and Martha talking about a word that is used to describe the idea that electronics or technology is out to get us. I cannot remember anything about the word. Does anyone have any leads or ideas?
Would that be Toffler's term Future Shock?
I don't recall a program including it but "technophobia" fits your definition.
The word or term was not Future Shockto my recollection, but I could see how it overlaps with that idea. Â It was more along the lines of the description of the intent of technology to do harm rather than describing the emotional state of the agent. I might have to listen to all the shows from around the time...
Thanks for the replies hitherto. I could really go for a Baader-Meinhof moment right now.
Could the desired term be pathetic fallacy?
