I think "Neo-Luddism" is a very poor description of people who are against Google Glass. The original Luddites were against modern machinery because it destroyed their ability to make a living with the skills that they had. The opponents of Google Glass think that this technology is an invasion of their privacy, which has nothing to do with their ability to earn a living a feed themselves.
- tdonaghe 14y agoI suppose I'm using a more broad definition of the word than you are. Also, notice that I'm not using the term Luddite. The wikipedia article on Neo-Luddism seems to agree with my definition as well. Though I do see mature AR tech as something which certainly will put people out of some jobs if they refuse to embrace it.
