The term "Luddite" originally refers to a group of English workers in the early 19th century, particularly between 1811 and 1816, who protested against the industrial revolution's impact on their jobs. They were known for destroying machinery, particularly like weaving looms, which they believed threatened their livelihoods and skills. Today, the term has evolved to describe individuals or groups who are opposed to or resistant to technological change.
