Luddite

As someone with Luddite tendencies, I still find the whole idea a bit absurd.

In Britain, displaced textile artisans engaged in industrial terrorism by destroying machinery such as looms in the Luddite Uprisings.

“In the 21st century, the Antichrist is a Luddite who wants to stop all science.”

The Luddite Club, a nonprofit group that supports taking smartphone breaks, has 26 chapters, nearly all of them at high schools or colleges.

In fact, I — a virtual Luddite — was able, over the course of three years of research, to imagine a reasonable plan that could take down a good chunk of the world’s internet.
