The Luddites Are Coming!

Overview Whether from companies seeking government protection from more nimble e-commerce competitors or political advocates decrying new IT applications as a threat to jobs, civil liberties and privacy, CIOs seeking to implement new systems may find themselves facing unexpected and sometimes powerful opposition. Luddites are hardly new. (They got their name from Englishman Ned Ludd, whose followers sabotaged textile factories at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.) What is new is how well-organized these neo-Luddites are, how seriously they are taken by the media and how effectively they use the political system to advance their agendas.
