Luddite teens

It sounds like a hipter indie band, but Luddite Teenagers are meeting up to emphasize connections without the distraction of technology.

“Our club promotes conscious consumption of technology,” she said. “We’re for human connection. I’m one of the first members of the original Luddite Club in Brooklyn. Now I’m trying to start it in Philly.”

She pulled out a flip phone, mystifying her recruit.

“We use these,” she said. “This has been the most freeing experience of my life.”
