Luddite

A belief system based on the rejection of technology, originally referencing English textile workers in the 19th century that destroyed machinery due to lower wages, now it's a term that has been adopted by those with anti-technology beliefs, such as anarcho-primitivists, kaczynskists, etc

Person 1: Have you seen the latest iphone model?
Person 2: Nah, I'm a luddite, these gadgets are meaningless distractions intended to keep us trapped in and subservient to the techno-industrial system

neo-luddite

a new promoter of the ideas of Ned Ludd and his people who destroyed industrial technologies while the Industrial Revolution was taking place. Neo-luddites come in many forms, and oppose technology for different reasons. This includes those calling themselves "radical traditionalists," who oppose it because they feel that industrial society subverts traditional folk-and-faith values. Others, who call themselves "primitivists," believe that technology and civilization itself are inherently repressive because it forces people to act contrary to their instincts, and interferes with natural eugenic population control measures, etc. Famous neo-Luddites include the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, Derrick Jensen, Jacques Ellul, and John Zerzan. It must be pointed out, though, that those like the Unabomber are strictly the exception rather than the norm.

John Zerzan as a Neo-luddite has written extensively on what he believes are the atrocities of civilization.

luddite

1. One who fears technology (or new technology, as they seem pleased with how things currently are...why can't everything just be the same?)

2. A group led by Mr. Luddite durring the industrial revolution who beleived machines would cause workers wages to be decreased and ended up burning a number of factories in protest

A luddite generally claims things were "just fine" back in the day, and refuses to replace/update failing equipment/software/computers on the basis that they were just fine 10 years ago.

neo-luddite

One who secretly despises technology, yet is forced to make use of it for social reasons or due due to circumstances beyond their control

1. Juan was labelled a neo-luddite as he would use his multi-function mobile telephone only to look cool around his friends. His friends also knew that he dreamed of a world in which smoke signals were still the main method of communication.
