Adbusters - Panting For Breath On A Virtual Shore

http://www.adbusters.org/article/panting-for-breath-on-a-virtual-shore/

This text was recommended to me by a friend - about society's dependence on technology.

"What extraordinary feats we were suddenly capable of in locomotion and adventure! Not til generations later did we realize that cars were a leading villain in the destruction of the planet. What will we discover in 100 years about the internet, smart-phones and other harbingers of virtual life?"

This idea that technology is created for a benefit but then becomes a threat is really key to my argument.

I came across this term 'primitivistic luddite' which I think is quite interesting, referring back to a movement during the industrial revolution that ultimately opposed machinery. Could this be applied to modern day 'haters' of tech?
