This paper tries to clarify the connections between old and new or contemporary Luddism. Time has carried a diversification of the notion of Luddism, representing different agendas and attitudes. Therefore, there is useful to describe somehow what differences they have. As a conclusion there is the possibility to defend an enlighted or reflective Luddism, able to make a rational criticism on the technological development and on the notions of innovation and progress. For that, some classical authors such as Anders, Illich, Mumford and Winner, among others, provide a useful theoretical approach.
