Daniel Dinello, in his apocalyptic book “Technophobia!” forecasts, “Like a viral infection, technology develops into an autonomous, invasive force that expands and fulfills its dangerous potential by flourishing in the societal medium of corporate, military, and religious sustenance. Voracious in its urge to possess and engulf, technology is a parasite that frequently undermines human integrity—invisibly infiltrating, manipulating, seizing control, and mutating its human host to support its own survival and evolution. Like a virus, technology metamorphoses itself, because of unintended and uncontrollable consequences, progressively transforming the human world in the wake of its own modern changing structure.” (Dinello, 2006, p. 247)
