I refer to myself as a Luddite, in both a joking and prideful manner. As with many older(58) folks, I’ve fallen behind in trying to keep up with the new technology and often find myself embarrassed by what I don’t know. Tech can be both very useful and very aggravating and intrusive. The constant chatter from cell phones, e-mail, facebook, etc. leaves little time to contemplate much of anything – only to respond to the characters displayed on the monitor or cell phone screen.
So, it’s pretty much a combination of the fear of the unknown, ignorance of the technology, and the intrusion on a contemplative mindset that creates the Luddite’s aversion to (some) of the new tech. And that’s from a self-proclaimed Luddite.

I think that the most important element, which ties in with everything you’ve said, is empathy. If they don’t see things your way, then chances are that you don’t see things exactly their way either.

Well, personally I do not like the term Luddite, as it seems to confer somethng more darker. However it is a far better descriptive term than "incompetent" or "resistant". More Useful Beneficial Computer Information
