A Luddite originally referred to a member of a group of English workers in the early 19th century who protested against industrialization by destroying machinery that they believed threatened their jobs. The term has since evolved to describe individuals or groups who resist or oppose technology and technological advancements, often due to concerns about their impact on society, employment, or the environment. Today, being called a Luddite may imply a reluctance to embrace modern technology.
The luddite revolts were quelled by the British government in 1813
