technovice 

Someone who is new to technology. A non-geek.

Anything new has a tendency to invoke fear, wariness and distrust. Newcomers to the technoscene are commonly assailed with pejoratives: but we were all newbies once; and every one of us remains a noob in some field of human endeavour - nobody knows it all.

The term 'technovice' is a more polite, welcoming term. It says, "Hi there friend, I see you're new here, do you need a hand?" whereas "FOAD you loser n00b!" simply pollutes cyberspace.

The word can be read as 'tech'+'novice', describing the present state of the user's knowledge (or rather, lack of it): but hidden within is the suggestion of things to come, when read as 'techno'+'vice' :)

"Mandy's a real technovice, I had to show her where the power switch was on her PC."

Technophille 

A consumer often inundated with technology, as a means of distracting from the drawbacks and dangers of capitalist culture. Technophilles often find themselves staring at the shiniest new iPhone, or the newest news in science. This keeps the consumer complacent with worldwide ecological destruction, and class oppression.

The technophille in my reading club keeps his nose in front of the TV, to keep his emotions controlled by mass culture.
