The Luddites were fighting the industrial revolution,.  This is the information revolution.

“In the 1980s, eight per cent of new jobs created in the developed economies were in entirely new occupations, from call centres to computer programmers. In the 1990s, only 4.4 per cent of the new jobs involved newly invented occupations. In the 2000s, only half a percent did." And "about half the remaining traditional full-time jobs in advanced economies will be eliminated by automation in the next 10 to 20 years." -  Gwynne Dyer
