TIL: Luddite - any opponent of technological progress

Brian Merchant: Why I'm a Luddite despite previously loving technology - The Washington Post

I could say I'm feeling similar. I mean, we all use technology, there is a nostalgic factor in it. Our life is easier thanks to technology, and we have a 'hedonic adaptation' requiring more and more improvements to our lifestyle.

The book "The Victorian Internet" was a good eye-opener for me, understanding that 50, 100 or 200 years ago, humankind had the same problems and needs.
And besides that, I feel everything is going too fast, although I don't have a reference point. My country is/was living in an internal war and now everything feels 'calm'.

As a user of technology, a hobbyist, and designer of new tech, it's interesting to spend some time thinking on it.
