On Not Being a Luddite
For those of you who don’t know what Luddite means, it is used to describe people who reject progress. More specifically, it refers to the British Luddites, textile workers of the early nineteenth century who protested Industrial Revolution “progress” by destroying the mechanized looms that threatened to put them out of work.
About Us
We're not technophobes or Luddites. We simply believe that people have lost some important things in the march toward progress. That is not to say progress and simplicity are mutually exclusive. We believe we can have both, and this site catalogs our journey as we try to do exactly that.
