When I was a student, we actually talked to each other during breaks between classes. Now my students usually sit alone glued to their smartphones (or other devices). Is this what progress looks like? 😟

Echoes of #Plato: #NeoLuddism — reclaiming the human in the digital age

Making room for humanity in the march of technology

“The machines were their enemies, for the machines were the means by which greedy masters enforced their will.” — – E.P. Thompson, The Making of the English Working Class (1963)

by Kem-Laurin Lubin, Jan 4, 2025

"Modern neo-Luddism draws inspiration from this historical movement, but rather than opposing all forms of #technology, it critiques the #uncritical adoption of digital tools and automation. Neo-Luddites are not anti-technology per se; instead, they advocate for a more #mindful and selective use of technology, prioritizing human #WellBeing, #EnvironmentalSustainability, and meaningful #SocialInteractions.

"In today’s context, neo-Luddism is less about destroying machines and more about reclaiming control over how technology shapes daily life. It questions the pervasive influence of #smartphones, #SocialMedia, and constant #connectivity, encouraging moments of #disconnection to foster deeper, more authentic human experiences.

"This philosophy underpins the growing trend of 'no-tech meetups,' where individuals come together to temporarily step away from digital distractions and reconnect in more organic, face-to-face ways [Like listening to vinyl records with a friend!]. Neo-Luddites advocate for a conscious retreat from digital dependence, emphasizing the importance of face-to-face communication and preserving human connection without the interference of screens. These gatherings, often called '#LudditeClubs' or 'analog meetups,' create spaces where participants can engage in conversations, activities, and communal experiences free from the distractions of smartphones, social media, and other digital tools.

"The motivations behind this movement are diverse. Some individuals express concerns over privacy and the pervasive #surveillance associated with digital platforms. Some lament the growing loss of #jobs and community. Others seek to combat the social isolation and mental health challenges exacerbated by excessive screen time. #Environmental considerations also play a role, with participants mindful of the ecological impact of #ElectronicWaste and the resource demands of constant technological upgrades."

One of #NJ’s largest school districts bans #cellphones in class

By Rob Jennings, Sept 19, 2025

"Students in New Jersey’s second-largest city will be required to put their cellphones away while in class starting Oct. 1.

"The Jersey City school board voted unanimously Thursday night to approve a new policy prohibiting cellphones and other personal communications devices in classrooms. There will be limited exceptions for students with disabilities and health issues."

More students head back to class without one crucial thing: their phones

Sequoia Carrillo, September 1, 2025

Excerpt: "In Texas, every public and charter school student will be without their phones during the school day this fall. Brigette Whaley, an associate professor of education at West Texas A&M University, expects to see "a more equitable environment" in classrooms with higher student engagement.

"Last year, she tracked the success of a cell phone ban in one west Texas high school by surveying teachers throughout the year. They reported more participation by students, and also said they saw student anxiety plummet – mainly because students weren't afraid of being filmed at any moment and embarrassing themselves.

" 'They could relax in the classroom and participate,' she said. 'And not be so anxious about what other students were doing.'

"The findings in west Texas align with results from many of the states and districts that are heading back to school without phones: Students learn better in a #PhoneFree environment. Getting cell phones out of the classroom is a rare issue with significant bipartisan support, allowing a rapid adoption of policies across red and blue states alike.

"Some 31 states and the District of Columbia now restrict students' use of #CellPhones in schools, according to Education Week."
