Privacy services are sometimes hard to learn so people will just decide to go back to the old days. I imagine that it will be easier in a group.
Butlerian Jihad intensifies…
Where do I sign up?
Strictly speaking, earth.
Well why would you even need machines if a Mentat can describe images of cats to you instead
Maybe not ALL technology, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we get “AI free” labels similar to the “GMO free” ones we have for food…
Seen quite a few of those in the ttrpg community lately.
Psh, I’m already doing that! I’m using smoke signals to write this right now!
Serious response: How would a movement like that spread awareness of itself?
A printing press? Lots of pamphleteers and great cardio? Would be excellent training for the zombie apocalypse as well.
Wasn’t that Ted Kaczynski’s main point?
More or less.
hutterites/mennonites already exist
im sure there are more, but thats all that comes to mind right now
I think there will be a popular movement that makes the news

Good luck fitting in society at that point… And avoiding all dependent technologies - cars, every city and shops that uses image recognition…. Plenty other ways to indirectly get anyone’s data in this world.
Now you can turn to the forest but is it better than the alternative ?
That’s why it would be a reasonably big movement. It would be basically going on strike from tech.
How would one organize such a movement?
I don’t know
In Demolition Man they used an old classic car instead of the new self-driving, auto-tracking cars.
Or you could install Linux Mint or Ubuntu. Why haven’t you done this yet?
Because the average person doesn’t have time to figure it out and make things work. Linux isn’t the solution for everything. Linux users have become the vegans of the internet…
Because fixing every flaw of Windows with the registry editor is so much easier. Also why all the people I help due to their broken Windows don’t seem happy about it?
Someone who has reached the point of abandoning all computer technology entirely would probably be willing to make the effort of installing a friendly Linux build. It’s not as complicated as people think.
That more than likely exists although albeit it’s dropped for other things as well
Either for privacy or because we destroyed the biosphere mining the precious minerals we needed for stupid gadgets that the earth becomes uninhabitable due to rapid ecosystem collapse as the ocean heats up to a point where photosynthesis is no longer possible and we all suffocate slowly on a desolate planet.
I hope its the first one.
I’ve seen this episode of Futurama

You’d be surprised how much technology certain Amish communities use. They’ll have machines that operate on water instead of electricity.
