New Term

I've come up with a new term to describe what I see from people (mostly the drooling left, though there's some on the right, too) that I can only describe as technophobia. However, it goes deeper than general technophobia, they have an irrational fear/hatred of just about all tools or creations of humans, whether it's genetically modified food (they never seem to realize that they've never seen a seed in a banana for a reason!), or machines of just about any kind. So, I give you:

ergaleiophobia: (pronounced like it looks), from the Greek "ergaleio" for tool and "phobia" for fear.

And what prompted this new word (which is a good one BTW)?
