Редактирование: Technophilia

'''Technophilia''' refers to a strong enthusiasm towards technology,<ref>[https://kk.org/thetechnium/technophilia/ Technophilia]</ref> especially new or [[emerging technologies]]. It stands in opposition to [[technoconservatism]] or [[technophobia]]. There is a more complex relationship with [[technoscepticism]].

== In transhumanism ==
Many [[transhumanist]]s are technophiles to one degree or another,<ref>[http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/print/119/ Transhumanism at the Crossroads]</ref> but the integration of [[bioethics|ethical frameworks]] around technologies marks a divergence from transhumanist being an exclusive subset of technophiles.<ref>[http://www.kheper.net/topics/transhumanism/What_Is_Transhumanism.html So What The Hell Is This Transhumanism?]</ref> Examples of such differences include:

* [[AI|AI Risk]] advocacy
* Concerns about a [[post privacy]] society
* Concerns about [[oligarchic transhumanism|unequal distribution]] of technologies
* Concerns about the possibilities of [[fascist transhumanism|government overreach]] through such technologies

== As a pejorative ==
Similar to the term audiophile,<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiophile#Controversies Wikipedia:Audiophile - Controversies]</ref><ref>[http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Audio_woo Rationalwiki:Audio woo]</ref> technophile has similar connections with [[techno-optimism]] or [[technological utopianism]], implying over optimism, [[transhumanist inevitablism|inevitablism]] and lack of critical analysis. This can go as far as seeing [[transhumanism as a religion]].

== Examples of technophiles ==
* [[Grinders]]
* [[Body modification]] enthusiasts
