I found no specific scientific term for the fear you described. However, please remember that a lack of scientific term does not mean the fear is not real to the sufferer. Technological advances and changes in society in general often create new fears as well. The list of phobias is not absolute and new terms are coined when a commonality of fears presents itself.

I did find a reference to this fear as a miscellaneous symptom of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, or OCD. Please refer to the Related Link 'Understanding OCD' for more information. The reference is near the end of the article.
