Technophilia (from Greek τέχνη - technē, "art, skill, craft"[1] and φίλος - philos, "beloved, dear, friend"[2]) refers generally to a strong attraction for technology, especially new technologies such as personal computers, the Internet, mobile phones, and home cinema.
The notion of addiction is often negatively associated with technophilia, and describes technophiles who become too dependent on the forms of technology they possess.
[4] Technophiles may view technology's interaction with society as creating a utopia, cyber or otherwise, and a strong indescribable futuristic feeling.
"In the utopian stories, technologies are seen as natural societal developments, improvements to daily life, or as forces that will transform reality for the better.
[5] Both utopian and dystopian streams are weaved in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932) and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949).
