Some of the things those people say is truly
frightening. Oh, and I have a few additional sites I
found which you might want to add:
* "The Anti-Technology Page" (mirrored on the
   following pages:)
 - http://www.ultranet.com/%7Emrlou/no_tech.html
 - http://www.imd.com/%7Emrlou/no_tech.html
 - http://www.responsenet.com/%7Emrlou/no_tech.html
 - http://www.hns.org/%7Emrlou/no_tech.html
 -
http://www.starshinestudios.com/%Emrlou/no_tech.html
 - http://www.jalex.com/%7Emrlou/no_tech.html
 - http://www.godriva.com/%7Emrlou/no_tech.html
* then, of course, there's the Luddites homepage:
 - http://www.luddites.com/index2.html
* "Liberty-Search", some of the contents of which I
  thought seem to indicate a very conservative mindset
 - http://www.libertysearch.com
* "The Impacts of Information-Technology"
 - http://www.internetcenter.state.mn.us/Itn-ind.htm
* "Brave New World Of Milk", a Times article from 1994
  (yeah, it's kinda old, but I found it kinda
relevant)
 -
http://www.pathfinder.com/time/magazine/archive/1994/940214/940214.protests.html
* and then there's "Implantable Bio-Chip Technology",
a
  page filled with some anti-implant religious
hoo-rah:
 - http://qualia-net.com/religion/chambio.html

Okay, that's all I had time to find. But I'm sure
there's plenty more, unfortunately.
