At some point, you might have been called, or might have called someone else a Luddite, due to a refusal to adopt a new technology.
Nowadays, it’s usually done in jest, but the Luddites were real.

Learn more about the Luddites, what they did, and why on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
