Ludacious

Ludacious

The adjective Ludacious specifically refers to the attitude of people who are generally against new forms of technolgy or ideas. Especially those people who are forced to conform to "new world thinking" (but in practice, are only happy with the more traditional aspects of business). eg. Fountain Pen and an Abacus.

The historical etymology of Luddite is: -

One of a group of early 19th century English workmen who were campaigning against the automation of the power loom. Under cover of night and generally masked, the workers often destroyed the equipment that had displaced them. Today the word broadly refers to anyone who is opposed to technological change or new working methods.

The name Luddite is presumed to come from the leader of these angry workmen: Ned Ludd. The Leicestershire worker is said to have rushed into a stocking weaver's house and destroyed his equipment.
