Think about this:
With each quantum advance in technology or significant cultural shift a portion of the populace has rejected the purported advances these have offered.
• The Printing Press: The Catholic Inquisition (Stretch the Heretics till their legs pop out!)
• Industrialized Agriculture: the Luddites (is sucks to have your arm severed by a new-fangled thresher!)
• Mass production of shoddy consumer goods: The Arts and Crafts Movement. (Strip the cheap gewgaws out of your life and build this cool cabinet!)
• The Bomb: Beatniks & Hippies. (No Nukes, No Nukes, No Nukes!)
• Hippies: Reagan, National Guard! and the Tea Party.
• Outsourcing Manufacturing to China: Steampunk.Which brings us back to IKEA and mass production.
