Answer 2

Explanation:

The word Luddism refers to a popular movement emerged in England in the early nineteenth century, led by artisans who protested against the growing use of machines in the productive process – especially threshers and looms -, they considered that their use destroyed the employment and deteriorated the working conditions. In particular, the term “Luddite” comes from the name of Ned Ludd, a young English worker (whose name was possibly a pseudonym) who broke two mechanical weavers in 1779, decades before the Luddite movement.

From its historical origin, the term Luddism has been used to describe the ideology of people opposed to the use of technology. However, both Luddite and neoluddism have taken completely different paths depending on the people who defend it or intend to live according to its principles.
