d) neo luddites is some one who secretly despises technology, in todays society this would be extreamnly hard to live by especially at an instituition like university. Every Single peace of work that is handed in has to be written on the computer, it can not be hand written. This would probably frustrate a neo luddite because they wouldn't necessairily have ever used a computer enough to be able to create a peace of work that was easy for them to create.




Also many lectures are done with the use of the power point, instead of maybe black boards or something similar. It would probably frustrate them even more if they had to do a presentation, because you are expected to use powerpoint for them as well, where as a neo luddite might prefer to just speak or again use non technical visual material.


The neo luddite also probably would not like it when so many people communicate through facebook, msn and text. I am the head of the dance society and the main ways i keep in touch with people is through Facebook and text. A neo luddite might not have a mobile or the internet, therefore they would find it hard to keep in contact or get information that is being passed around.





The fact that alot of supplement material is online, for instance library resources, journals, seminar notes, lectures slides, essay questionsand alot of other resources are posted online first and foremost, before being given out in hand, if being given out in hand at all, would probably also aggrevate the neo luddite severely.
