A luddite is a person opposed to technological change. The term Luddite carries a connotation of destroying new technology.
First recorded in 1811 it was named for Ned Ludd. The Luddites were originally people opposed to job loss as a result of the Industrial Revolution in 19th century England and who sometimes resorted to violent protests, breaking into factories, and attacking machinery.
