Here's what you missed on Buck Sexton with America now.

Team, I thought it would be worthwhile to spend a little time on what we could call the

history of everything which might become a recurring segment here on the show.

But as I'm discussing with you concerns about new technology and what that technology

could possibly do to employment and how innovation while we love the increased productivity,

the cheaper goods and the conveniences in our day to day life among a whole bunch of

other benefits we could discuss, there are some who become concerned when times change.

There are those who worry about what it will mean for them specifically.

You can borrow here the old phrase, I believe it's from Cain's himself, that in the long run

we're all dead.

So some people might be willing to say sure we don't necessarily oppose technology as an

idea or even a specific technology for what it does, we're just worried about what it

will do to our day to day lives or to our employment more specifically.

This has been a concern that has existed for a long time.

In fact, a couple hundred years ago at the beginning of the 19th century, so around 1812,

1813, you saw what became known as the Luddite riots or the Luddite rebellion.

Let's talk about Luddites, little history of this on our Friday here.

They are the original or I should say at least thought of as the original technophobes.

They were the rage at the mechanical age, at the onset of the Industrial Revolution,

this group of British textile workers were involved in a series of uprisings, riots,

kind of coordinated mini rebellion of sorts that has also become a little exaggerated.

This is where we get the term Luddite today, which is just anyone who's opposed to progress
