Most everyday uses are at the mild end and are said half in fun. It is also used about whole societies in news and academic writing — 'a wave of technophobia' — meaning a general public suspicion that new technology will do harm. Because '-phobia' is the ending used for medical fears, the word sounds more scientific than it usually is; in ordinary talk it just means 'really not liking this stuff'.
