Perhaps the most famous uprising against technology was the Luddite movement of England. The Luddites, named after King Ludd, or Ned Ludd, organized against technological advances in the textile industry in the Regency area of England from 1811-1816. History shows rejection of not just technology, but rejection of technology which was seen as threatening to their way of life and livelihood. As a precursor to modern day labor unions, one author called it, "collective bargaining by riot". It ended when the English Parliament dispatched 12,000 soldiers and the leaders of the movement were either executed or deported to Australia. A similar but separate uprising in 1830 led to the destruction of threshing machines by farm workers in the English countryside.
