You are correct. The term "Luddite" originates from a group of English textile workers in the early 19th century (1811-1816) who protested against the introduction of new machinery during the Industrial Revolution. They saw these machines as a threat to their livelihoods and skills.
The Luddites, supposedly led by a figure named Ned Ludd, destroyed machinery and engaged in sabotage to express their opposition. Their actions were a reaction to the economic disruption and job displacement caused by automation.
Today, the term "Luddite" is often used to describe someone who opposes or is skeptical of new technology, particularly those who prefer traditional methods or are concerned about the impact of technology on society.
