  Technophilia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Technophilia is, in its simplest definition, a strong enthusiasm for technology, especially newer technologies such as computers, the Internet, cell phones and home theater.
It is not currently considered a psychological condition or a disorder, but is used in sociology when examining the interaction of individuals with their society, especially contrasted with technophobia.
The idea of technophilia, used occasionally in the critical theory of society, describes the new forms of enthusiasm for new technologies and technological innovations.

 AJET 5(1): Campion (1989) - technophilia and technophobia
Technophilia and Technophobia - this pair of concepts are closely related to the notions of cyberphilia and cyberphobia presented in a pair of articles represented in the work edited by Van Tassel and Van Tassel (wrege, l983) entitled The Compleat Computer.
Badham (1984, p.62) refers to the pair of concepts technocratic and technophobic, however whilst the former term is common in contemporary usage it misleadingly, in my view, suggests that reason supports those who favour technology where emotion or perhaps a lack of reason motivates those who fear, or are opposed to technology.
Again it seems to me that the pair of terms technophilia and technophobia reveal in a more evenly balanced fashion the possibly irrational basis of both commitments.

Technophilia were to be printed and released as a book, but due to (probably) lack of knowledge and interest from the publishing company, who argued that it would be outdated pretty fast and therefor not worth to publish, this never happened.
It *would* have been published around this time, but the publishers felt that Technophilia would have a short shelf life (or they would have to publish an update), so they decided to can it.
Technophilia is divided into sections, each one focusing on focusing on a subculture or phenomenon devoted in some way to the advancement of technology, love of computers, or an acute sense of neophilia.

 Technophobia@LordOfTheMoon
Something as emotive and personal as technophobia is bound to have an opposite; in this case, technophilia.
Since my earliest memories, I been fascinated by the world around me. Understanding how it works is my ultimate agenda, science and technology are the tools that are used to do this – if this is technophilia, then so be it.
An informal description of a technophile is someone who `overuses' technology, perhaps trying to use it in a situation where a more traditional means of communication might be more appropriate.

A Christian (and anti-Semetic?) legacy: the fall from the garden is redeemed by the rejection of the programmatic authority of the Synagogue by Jesus.
He is comfortable with the political use of the indigenous heritage of Mexico, but perplexed by the zoot-suit -- that is no surprise, since its affirmation of the artificial is in direct conflict with any notion of "natural" heritage (either Indian or Spanish).
The zoot-suit offers a stylistic expression of technophilia; it places one's identity in the self construction of materials at hand rather than any natural roots of the past.

The only real complaint I have is that since the router has a 5V DC power supply it should have come with a USB power option for use in client mode or where plug-ins are in short supply.
This is from the Technophilia Dept. You non-technie types might as well skip most of this since it has to do with Linux.
