Hello JOE!

According what I found in the 'net:

What does it mean to be called a Luddite?

1. A Luddite is a person who dislikes technology, especially technological  
devices that threaten existing jobs or interfere with personal privacy.

2. A Luddite is someone who is incompetent when using new technology. The  
word Luddite has an interesting origin in pop culture of the early 1800's.

Is Luddite an insult?

Today, it's an insult to call someone a Luddite. But that's not fair to  
the original Luddites - cloth workers who launched a war against the  
machines that were taking their jobs.
