In 1990, Chellis Glendinning published her “Notes towards a
Neo-Luddite manifesto” in the Utne Reader, reclaiming the term
'luddite'. According to Glendinning, Neo-Luddites are “20th
century citizens — activists, workers, neighbors, social
critics, and scholars — who question the predominant modern
worldview, which preaches that unbridled technology represents
progress.”[15] Glendinning then gives the following principles
of Neo-Luddism:
<br>
<br>
“Neo-Luddites are not anti-technology:” Glendinning
proposes that Neo-Luddites are only against specific kinds of
technology which are destructive to communities or are
materialistic and rationalistic.
<br>
<br>
“All technologies are political:” Technologies are not
neutral but have been created in specific social contexts for
specific interests. Mass technological society has created
technologies to perpetuate its specific values (short-term
efficiency, ease of production and marketing, profit) and this
has led to rigid social institutions.
<br>
<br>
“The personal view of technology is dangerously limited:”
Instead of focusing on how technology will improve the life of
an individual, critics need to look at the wider social,
economic and ecological implications of technological systems.
