Technophobia: The psychological impact of information technology
Abstract
From the Publisher: Today, technology plays a great role in all of our lives. Yet studies have shown that up to one half the population is technophobic--that is, in possession of negative opinions or anxiety when it comes to information technology like personal computers. This book examines the origins of technophobia--what it is, who has it and what causes it. The impact of gender is examined and the social and cognitive psychological factors underlying technophobia are reviewed and combined into an overall psychological model. Techniques for reducing technophobia are discussed, and the effect of technophobia on everyone from school children to teenagers is analyzed. Technophobia will be useful both for academic study of the area, and for those devising IT policy in schools, business and government.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
