Technophobia?

I learnt a new word last night : luddite n. one who opposes technical or technological change.
A related word : technophobia : n. fear of or aversion to technology, especially computers and high technology
To a certain extent, these words sort of describe me. i am so not a techie and i have have not seen a need to embrace technological change unless really necessary. But it's now time to evolve and embrace change and step into the high tech world. It's my challenge. One step into this challenge is by starting this blog - I've learnt many things i never believed i could understand!
Another new word of the other extreme end of technology : technopheliac - A person who is constantly buying new technology (cell phones, mp3 players, etc) for the purpose of showing them off. A person that just "bleeds" technology. comes from technophile and hemopheliac. (source - urbandictionary.com)
Thanks CH for the vocab lesson and the bedtime stories. :)
