A Neo-Luddite is someone who believes that the use of technology has serious ethical, moral, and social ramifications. Because of this, Neo-Luddites are cautious to adopt technology, which could be a set-back in today's society. Daily frustrations of most university students would involve having to e-mail tutors as well as typing essays using a computer. Adding to this, students have to look for specific online journals, or information online which they may find hard to do. For an online unit such as this one, a Neo-Luddite would struggle as a basic knowledge and understanding of the interent is essential.
Another thing that might make a Neo-Luddites university life difficult is communicating with other students. Most students use mobile phones and social-networking sites such as facebook to keep in touch with and communicate with peers. Again something which a neo-luddite would find difficult.
Personally, without technology, I don't think I would survive at university. Not only with the course itself, typing up essays, using the internet for information, and blogging for online units such as this but I e-mail tutors or family and friends on a daily basis, as well as using Facebook to keep in touch with people. For me I think it would be impossible to be at university without the use of technology.
