Editing Technophobia (section)

==Prevalence==
A study published in the journal ''[[Computers in Human Behavior]]'' was conducted between 1992 and 1994 surveying first-year college students across various countries.<ref name=studentstudy>{{cite journal|doi = 10.1016/0747-5632(94)00026-E|first1 = Michelle M.|last1= Weil|first2= Larry D.|last2 = Rosen|title = A Study of Technological Sophistication and Technophobia in University Students From 23 Countries|journal = Computers in Human Behavior|volume = 11|issue = 1 |pages = 95–133|year = 1995|quote = Over a two-year period, from 1992–1994, data were collected from 3,392 first year university students in 38 universities from 23 countries on their level of technological sophistication and level of technophobia.}}</ref> The overall percentage of the 3,392<ref name="W&R table-2"/> students who responded with high-level technophobic fears was 29%.<ref name="W&R table-2">{{cite journal|doi = 10.1016/0747-5632(94)00026-E|first1 = Michelle M.|last1= Weil|first2= Larry D.|last2 = Rosen|title = A Study of Technological Sophistication and Technophobia in University Students From 23 Countries|journal = Computers in Human Behavior|volume = 11|issue = 1 |pages = 95–133|year = 1995|quote = "Table 2. Percentage of Students in each country who possessed high levels of technophobia"}}; several points are worth noting from Table 2. First, a group of countries including Indonesia, Poland, India, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Mexico and Thailand show large percentages (over 50%) of technophobic students. In contrast, there are five countries which show under 30% technophobes (US, Yugoslavia – Croatia, Singapore, Israel and Hungary). The remaining countries were in between these two groupings.</ref> In comparison, [[Japan]] had 58% high-level technophobes and [[Mexico]] had 53%.<ref name="W&R table-2" />

A published report in 2000 stated that roughly 85–90% of new employees at an organization may be uncomfortable with new technology, and are technophobic to some degree.<ref name=orgstudy>{{cite web |url=http://www.learningcircuits.org/2000/mar2000/mar2000_elearn.html |title=Index – Learning Circuits – ASTD |publisher=Learning Circuits |access-date=2010-06-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080511165100/http://www.learningcircuits.org/2000/mar2000/mar2000_elearn.html |archive-date=2008-05-11 }}</ref>
