This illness can be measured with three types of indicators. It can be affective: anxiety vs. fatigue; attitudinal: skeptical attitude toward technology; and cognitive: beliefs about ineffectiveness in the use of technology.
Technoanxiety
Technoanxiety is also identified as a type of technostress. This specific type causes the person to experience prolonged levels of unpleasant physiological activation. In addition, they feel tension and discomfort about the present or future use of a technology. This is produced by anxiety, leading to attitudes about the use of devices, as well as negative thoughts. Technophobia focuses on the affective dimension of fear and anxiety toward information technology.
Technoaddiction
Technoaddiction is another form of technostress. It is characterized by compulsive attitudes toward the use of ICTs, abusing their use at all times and in all places, that is, using them for long periods of time. Therefore, technoaddicts are people who want to stay up-to-date with the latest technological advances and make their lives about them, making them the cornerstone of their daily lives.
