Wikipedia makes the Luddite's as dangerous radicals, when they were not.
I said I don't download apps, and the person said "sorry".
I'm a luddite.
LOL. Refusing to load up a phone with apps is hardly “luddite” territory. Was the HR person a millenial? They all seem to be electronic personalities.
A true Luddite would destroy the phone factory.
Unless you previously agreed in writing to download the apps, they broke the law, I think.
In today’s world, all the apps open a person up to huge identity theft risk if they lose the phone or it is stolen.
I refuse to put such personal information on my phone.
“A true Luddite would destroy the phone factory.”
That’s true, old Ned Lud would leave a big mess.
I had to go through new sales for a new quote then cancel the renewal of the old one then sent a check. Took 10 days, many emails, a bunch of calls, filtering through the lies they told me, tricking them with their own rules. If they cash the check, which they will b/c its money, should be ok.
I refuse apps too.
It’s LUDDITES. NO APOSTROPHE NECESSARY. I’ve noticed that the punctuation and grammar on this site are lax. We’re a cut above the rabble; we should know better.
Is you series?
I refuse to download a separate app for every business I have to deal with. It’s ridiculous.
I am an aged techie. It’s getting to the point where I need my kids to load up stuff on my devices. It also seems that my devices are getting long in the tooth. Heck I paid good money for them a decade or so ago. Snicker.
It is ridiculous to have to download an app for everyone you do business with. I wish it could be avoided. They should have an app for that.😀
The real Luddites WERE dangerous radicals. They injured and killed people, they were terrorists.
And understand you’re not a luddite for not downloading apps. That’s making a choice. To be a luddite you’d have to be violently opposed to the existence of apps.
Surprised Wikileftia isn’t praising them. After all, their problem wasn’t machinery; it was corrupt business practices and government interference that drove them to break stuff. Shoot, they even wore women’s clothes and protested as “Ludd’s Wives”! lol
Ok but I didn’t type that word in any form, maybe you have confused me with a different poster.
“We’re a cut above the rabble”
Trust me...I am NOT a cut above the rabble.
Automated cloth weaving factory displaced traditional weaving jobs.
Thank you for putting GreatRoad in their rightful place!
Mei thought’s exactlee!
I don’t have to worry about downloads... My 6-year-old flip phone doesn’t speak downloads...
