The Luddites were simply looking after their own interests. They
objected to their loss of income, caused by unapprenticed labour
replacing a skilled workforce. That this change was enabled by
technology was, in the main, irrelevent. Taken against the backdrop
of food shortages and widespread poverty, it was simply the desperate
actions of a workforce fearing for their livelihood and wanting to
feed their families.
