Luddism is a social philosophy that technological advances are a detriment to a society that has functioned well without it. It came from a social movement named the Luddites who were 19th-century English textile artisans that protested – often by destroying mechanized looms – against the changes produced by the Industrial Revolution, which they felt were leaving them without work and changing their way of life. The movement was named after General Ned Ludd or King Ludd, a mythical figure who, like Robin Hood, was reputed to live in Sherwood Forest.

  • Luddism is a social philosophy that technological advances are a detriment to a society that has functioned well without it. It came from a social movement named the Luddites who were 19th-century English textile artisans that protested – often by destroying mechanized looms – against the changes produced by the Industrial Revolution, which they felt were leaving them without work and changing their way of life. The movement was named after General Ned Ludd or King Ludd, a mythical figure who, like Robin Hood, was reputed to live in Sherwood Forest. The Smurf stories seem to follow this philosophy, particularly in the cartoon show, where an invention created by Handy Smurf actually does become detrimental to their society and is ultimately abandoned by the end of the story.
