technagoraphobia

The fear of being in an open place away from technology. Tech (technology) + agoraphobia (the fear of open places) = the fear of open places without technology.

Techgoraphobia

When your fear of the self-help kiosks at almost every business gets to a point where you fear leaving the house. You worry that you may have missed paying for one item at the grocery self-check-out and that the police are going to show up and let you know about it. You think you paid for something twice at another store. You are pretty sure that the line of people behind you at another kiosk were grumbling because you were taking too long. The only safe place to be is on your own couch. The safest place to get food is from the fridge or from grandma’s pantry.

I can’t run your errands. Techgoraphobia is real.
