Why “technoskeptic” is a great word
TECHNOSKEPTIC — [Noun] A person who maintains a skeptical, critical stance toward the purported benefits and overarching value of modern technology. From techno- (a combining form from Greek tekhnē, meaning "art, craft, skill") + skeptic (from Greek skeptikos, meaning "inquiring, reflective"). Unlike "Luddite," which implies a reactionary rejection, or "technophile," which denotes an uncritical embrace, the technoskeptic is defined by reasoned inquiry. It is the deliberate pause before the software update, the quiet preference for a paper map over a glitching screen, and the act of asking "but at what cost?" while the crowd cheers—a posture of vigilance in an age of compulsory assent.
