A Neo-luddite is someone who is against developing technologies.
While at university, students are required and expected to check their emails daily in order to keep informed of any developments or information from their tutors, this has become part of the university system and it seems so natural to all students.
Blackboard site, or something very similar, on which a student's timetable, emails and course details are all available.
A neo-luddite would never be able to find their timetable and download the necessary course materials, this would make the university experience much much harder.
This unit a neo-luddite would not be able to take part in because of the views on technologies this to me seems crazy as technology is so beneficial to everyone, from people needing the latest treatments in hospital to us using the Internet to research topics for our essays.
