question: The term now commonly refers to those acting with foresight and insights far beyond the comprehension of most other folks around. -- I thought a Luddite was someone who did *not* act with foresight and insight beyond comprehension. I though people who disliked and actively avoided technology were the ones termed, "Luddites". help, thanks! :-)--En attendant Godot_{"«Her intense and pure religiousness took the form of her having equal faith in the existence of another world and in the impossibility of comprehending it in terms of earthly life.

I know. Because I'm here to discredit the growing anti-tech movement, headed by both Trump and Putin. -- Bryan See (talk) 04:59, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

Colloquial usages

There are the colloquial modern usages 'X is a bit of a Luddite - doesn't use (speaker's preferred technology)' and 'I'm no Luddite but... (I can't see the point of this technology/it is making my life more difficult').'

Is it being Luddite to use the term Luddite to describe the modern situation (given that it is two centuries old)? Anna Livia (talk) 10:17, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
