Technomorphosis 

Technomorphosis: A New Concept in Technological Transformation

Part of Speech:
Noun

Definition:
Technomorphosis is the transformative process by which systems, industries, or societies evolve and adapt primarily through the integration, application, and progression of technological advancements.
