Mike's Clio II Webpage

History and New Media: CSS Assignment

Welcome to Mike Moravitz's Clio II Webpage. Please be advised you are entering a Luddite zone. To the right, you will find a 19th century version of the original Luddites -- British working class militants protesting their technological enslavement. Like past Luddites, I am opposed to the ridiculous pace of technological advancement at the expense of human freedom. I hope that in the future, a balance will be struck between technology and human needs. This is all a way of saying, I hope to survive my Clio II course in order to --

1. read more books,
2. write more papers,
3. and pontificate on historical themes.

“Luddism can be seen as a violent eruption of feeling against unrestrained industrial capitalism, harking back to an obsolescent paternalist code, and sanctioned by traditions of the working community.” -- EP Thompson, The Making of the English Working Class
