	I "fixed" this entry, removing a bunch of propaganda from right wing sources. Frankly, this article shouldn't even exist, because there is simply no self-identified "neo-luddite" movement. This entry is an attempt by right wingers to establish that such a mythical movement exists. The stuff about Teresa Heniz Kerry funding this so-called movement is the dead giveaway that this entry has no factual basis.

Anti-singularity/gray-goo motivations

I've run across neo-luddite sympathies motivated by fear of a singularity or gray-goo type event. This is mostly just the logical extreme of the standard anti-techonology arguments, but it might be worth a mention, as some people are opposed not to specific technological improvements but utimately a sudden and pronounced loss of our control over them.

I think we should not pour the baby out with the bathwater. There is a lot of tech that is useful and harmless. The problem starts where access to bank accounts is concerned. All events in tech can be faked and that includes transfers, payments, and invoices. Stick with cash in normal day to day activities. The IT architecture is very costly in terms of money, time, and cyber insurance. We should not be hoodwinked by the software vendors who are the main beneficiaries. No doubt we need to wind it back, but not all. 2001:8003:A070:7F00:8862:E45A:8668:6185 (talk) 02:32, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Luddites

The article currently says that Luddism "opposes all forms of technology." This contrasts with the Misplaced Pages article on the movement, which says, " movement of English textile workers which opposed the use of certain types of cost-saving machinery...."

Lead Pencil Club

It may be worth adding a section on Bill Hendersons creation of the Lead Pencil Club, and the subsequent writing of 'Minutes of the Lead Pencil Club: Second Thoughts on the Electronic Revolution.' While Bill has his own wiki page, there is no information on the book or club beyond the mention that he wrote it. 64.59.228.170 (talk) 21:01, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
