Luddite

n. member of a worker's group in England during the 19th century that opposed the industrial revolution and destroyed the machinery because they felt it threatened their income

The Luddites were a social movement of British textile artisans in the early nineteenth century who protested — often by destroying sewing machines — against the changes produced by the  Industrial Revolution, which they felt threatened their livelihood.This English historical movement has to be seen in its context of the harsh economic climate due to the Napoleonic Wars; but since then, the term Luddite has been used to describe anyone opposed to technological progress and technological change. For the modern movement of opposition to technology, see neo-luddism.
