Technophilia

I imagine this word has a pretty broad usage, but I'm thinking of it as a trope that is in Computer Love, as well as a song I've blogged about here previously: I Love You Miss Robot by the Buggles.  I've also found it quite a bit in anime.  For example, the Big O, which we on DVD and have seen parts of (my wife has seen the whole thing) which involves a main male character and an assistant, who is romantically implicated, who is an android. The trope robot-ifies a female character, I think to symbolize the inaccessibility experienced by romantic male protagonists, who are often introverted. The tension is a huge part of the atmospherics of these stories.
