technophobe

technophobe
technophobe by 1952, perhaps by 1946, from TECHNO- (Cf. techno-) + -PHOBE (Cf. -phobe).
If the reader will consult such a book as Recent Economic Changes, by David A. Wells, published in 1889, he will find passages that, except for the dates and absolute amounts involves, might have been writen by our technophobes (if I may coin a needed word) of today. [Henry Hazlitt, "Economics in One Lesson," 1952 edition]
