Christine Finn proposes that being 'luddite' is no bad thing.

Christine Finn argues that being 'luddite' is no bad thing, and that the original Shropshire luddites were prescient about the consequences of the mechanical age.

In the heart of the Industrial Revolution in Shropshire, Christine Finn proposes that being 'luddite' is no bad thing: far from closing their eyes to progress, the 19th century workers who protested against industrialisation by destroying mechanical looms were prescient about the consequences of the mechanical age. She examines whether the luddites of today - those who refuse to embrace the ever newer, ever smaller technologies on offer - are similarly prescient.

...Beautiful. Christine Finn uncovers the appeal of large and redundant technology

Archaeologist Christine Finn looks at the significance of old and redundant technology in the modern age

It's Big and It's Beautiful: the Rise of Retro Tech 2/4. Archaeologist Christine Finn uncovers the appeal of large and redundant technology, and compares the Luddites, who distrusted the machines of the Industrial Revolution, with those who refuse to embrace changes in society today.
