Luddites would be an even better example of technology selectionism. Contrary to popular belief, the Luddite movement did not reject new technology or technology in full[0]. In fact, they were quite adept at using technology and were in favor of it. Rather, Luddites were fighting for better worker rights as it relates to introduction of new technology and automation. The real story of the Luddite is one of worker rights, the ending of child labor, safer working conditions and closing wealth inequality for all. Not the rejection of technology[1]
