Isn't that anthropocentrism?

Is technopocentrism, the thought that your technology kicks ass over all others?

I believe that anthropomorphism is the though the the universe
revolves around, if not actually then figuratively, humanity. As all
in and on the Earth and universe were created -for- us.

There's also anthropocentrism.

[MBZ] Anthropomorphism

2006-01-11 Thread Dan Weeks

Yes, but I thought that was for assigning attributes from one living
thing to another.  We've determined that assigning inanimate
attributes to an animate object is technomorphism, but is there a
distinct term for its converse?  I lose sleep over this kind of thing
all the time.

I think it's all anthropomorphism, but then again, I sleep just fine. :-)
