In response, we feature our blog, LudditeOnline, where visitors can find creative writing, published fiction, links, reflections, and a forum about how technology affects us all.
Luddite:
“Member of organized groups of early 19th-century English craftsmen who surreptitiously destroyed the textile machinery that was replacing them. The movement began in Nottingham in 1811 and spread to other areas in 1812. The Luddites, or “Ludds,” were named after a probably mythical leader, Ned Ludd. They operated at night and often enjoyed local support. Harsh repressive measures by the government included a mass trial at York in 1813 that resulted in many hangings and banishments. The term Luddite was later used to describe anyone opposed to technological change” (Luddite. (2014). Retrieved from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/luddite).
