Its name is based on the historical legacy of the British Luddites which were active between 1811 and 1816. Neo-luddism does not equate necessarily to outright technophobia and includes the critical examination of the effects technology has on individuals and communities. Neo-luddism may also be expressed as doubts as to whether new computer and internet based technology really brings benefits, or the belief that we were better off before its advent. Neo-luddism is the opposite of technophilia, the belief that technological innovation will remedy all ills. Neo-luddism challenges the assumption that all that went before technology is redundant and to be disregarded because of its inferiority. While neo-luddism is a fringe movement, some of its ideas, critiques and solutions have broad resonance in contemporary culture; for example, quests for a "simple" way of life.
