I am, to a degree, a Luddite, one forced by circumstance and need into making concessions.
Maybe slightly like a lefthanded person having to adapt to a righthanded-arranged world. (Which, if you're lucky, results in you being at least a little ambidextrous, though not as ambidextrous as the Iron Monkey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Monkey_(1993_film)).)
Signed, A lefthanded person
P.S. I'm so glad that we're past some of the silliness over lefthandedness, but someone as relatively young as Tom Cruise was "converted" from left- to righthandedness as a kid, which DIDN'T HELP the dude's dyslexia. (And now I kind of want to be mean and wonder if that has anything to do with his being crazy, but that's mean and I should drop the subject now.) THAT "converting" thing needed to go away.
