  • Neo-Luddism is a personal world view opposing many forms of modern technology. Its name is based on the historical legacy of the British Luddites, who were active between 1811 and 1816. These groups along with modern Neo-Luddites are characterized by the practice of destroying private property as a means of protest. Neo-Luddism stems from the concept that technology has a negative impact on individuals and communities.
