I agree. This is standard human behavior with regards to new technology. In fact we may have inherited it from the primate line. The resistant attitude among the older population to new technologies is documented in particular.

The narrative today is that technology is "taking over". But that's always been true. It's more accurate to say we're move dependent on it now than ever. And that's because we've simply built the new inventions off the old ones.

And luddite-chic attitudes, especially among artsy types, will remain. Not that that's a bad thing but it's typical. Artist love to explore old mediums. That's basically their job.

I predict we'll continue to see these attitudes and articles covering them. And it'll probably grow unfortunately. But this becomes dangerous if it turns people into real Luddite. Technology is the big man on campus, and to get a name for yourself the easy thing to do is to knock him down.
