Technophrenia

A pathological state of detachment from social reality, most often in the technological elite class, caused by extreme insulation due to incredible wealth and existing in an echo chamber where the correctness of the afflicted individual is continuously affirmed, leading to grandiose, impractical uses of influence and resources in pursuit of solving problems that do not exist.

"Tim Cooks technophrenia is out of control, he actually believes that people will wear his goggles into meetings."
