Usage
Technologization, technicalism
Hi, I have two words I'd like to run by you.
1. How do you feel about using "technologization" to describe the introduction of technology within a given field? Something like: "the technologization of medicine" - meaning that technology is being widely used in the medical profession? I've seen the word used on the Web, but it's absent from my dictionaries (Webster's and New Oxford)...
2. Technicalism - can I use it to denote a worldview that puts technology first? Something like: "the materialism and technicalism of modern civilization"? Or should that be "technologism"...?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts! Anka
