Technological transformation is never merely technical. It is a deeply psychological and sociological event, an inflection point that destabilizes not only economies and institutions but also identities, belief systems, and emotional equilibria. While the promise of innovation is framed in metrics of efficiency, productivity, and growth, its reception is often shaped by ambiguity, anxiety, and resistance. These reactions are not anomalous. They are patterned, persistent, and rooted in the very architecture of human meaning-making.
