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. 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?
