The vast majority of students rely on laptops – and increasingly AI – to help with their university work. But a small number are going analogue and eschewing tech almost entirely in a bid to re-engage their brains

    I hate how the term Luddite has been co-opted as a blanket term for someone who rejects technology for any reason. The original Luddites were a labor movement who were angry that technology was taking people’s livelihoods while society was doing nothing to prevent those people from becoming destitute.

    Kinda exactly how AI is going to fuck over a lot of people while primarily benefiting the rich people who own it.

      Luddite is a derogatory term anyway. One might have legit reasons to be against personally using certain technologies
