This is a weird comment. When people are claustrophobic the implication is not that we need to sympathize with closed-spaces. You're injecting a meaning that was almost surely unintended to make a shaky ironic point.
You're feeding a troll.
I'm not a troll, I'm seriously objecting to the idea that we should reject the concerns of a dying person as "technophobic", as if that's some kind of silver bullet in an argument in favor of technology. I've never heard anybody seriously say "technophobic" before and I found it rather shocking and naive.
Ah, I do apologize then. I misinterpreted your post.
