I've worked in tech for 20 years. Luddites are quite common in this field.
Read some history mate. The luddites weren't technophobes either. They hated the way that capitalism was reaping all the rewards of industrializion. They were all for technological advancement, they just wanted it to benefit everyone.
I'm using the current-day usage of the term, but I think you knew that.
