Just seen the new programme shown on BBC3 called ‘Technophobes’. Seriously? I mean how you could be scared of laptops, phones, even television. Did you see the face on the 19 year old girl Natasha when she heard about the digital switchover, seriously that was not normal especially for someone who is around my generation.  You could tell that everyone in the programme genuinely had a strong fear of technology. But besides the bizarreness of this programme is was really entertaining also informative , I learnt a lot about how people are born with or gradually create these  weird phobias with the biological side given after each story from each person. Great show, weird subject.
