Down the block, she posted another one: 'Do You Desire a Healthier Relationship With Technology, Especially Social Media? The Luddite Club Welcomes You and Your Ideas.'</p><p>"When a student approached, Ms. Watling dove into her pitch. </p><p>"'Our club promotes <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ConsciousConsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConsciousConsumption</span></a> of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a>,' she said.

'This has been the most freeing experience of my life.'<br>If Ms. Watling had a missionary’s zeal, it was because she wasn’t just promoting a student club, but an approach to modern life that profoundly changed her two years ago, when she helped form the Luddite Club as a high school student in New York. </p><p>"But that was then, back when things were simpler, before she had embarked on the more independent life of a college student and found herself having to navigate QR codes, two-factor-identification logins, dating apps and other digital staples of campus life.<br> <br>"The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LudditeClub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LudditeClub</span></a> was the subject of an article I wrote in 2022 — a story that, ironically, went viral. It told of how a group of teenage tech skeptics from Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn and a few other schools in the city gathered on weekends in Prospect Park to enjoy some time together away from the machine. </p><p>"They <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sketched" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sketched</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/painted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>painted</span></a> side by side.

Their flip phones were decorated with stickers and nail polish.</p><p>"Readers inspired by their message responded in hundreds of emails and comments.
