I posted before but it got lost in the transition to the new system. The name \\\"Schizo Tech\\\" refers to schizophrenia, but the theme of the trope examples is mixing technology from different eras, like the tech has \\\"multiple personalities.\\\" Multiple personalities are the primary symptom of Multiple Personality Disorder (now called Dissociative Identity Disorder), not Schizophrenia. Most people incorrectly refer to instances of split personalities as schizophrenia. Schizophrenia\\\'s main symptoms are delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thought, and altered emotional expression. Clearly this name is at odds with the theme of the trope examples and I\\\'d like to see this trope renamed \\\"Anachronistic Tech\\\" for the sake of accuracy and clarity, and to avoid furthering this misconception about schizophrenia. --Andrea 4 Mar 2010
