The “Luddites” were a group in England at the time of the Industrial Revolution. They were opposed to factory work being done by machines instead of people and to rail transportation which removed upper class owners from the people in their employ. They were ruthlessly suppressed by the British government.

The industrial revolution, huh?

Not sure how something from the late 1700s to early 1800s is connected to today, unless you are still opposed to technology like the Luddites in England were.

Do you drive a car? Own a TV or radio? Have a telephone? Own a home? Have power tools? Have a job?

Because I'm pretty sure none of these technologies were available during the industrial revolution.

Sounds like you are sorta Luddite, especially since it's obvious you use a computer and go online.

Good luck with that.
