Fictional neo-luddite's are people who do not like using technology. Daily frustrations of most university students would involve having to watch lecture slides and taking notes from that, in addition because most units require essays to be typed up they would have to use a computer, plus if they have to look for specific online journals, or information on the inet, they would have to go online and find them - something which they would find hard to do.
In addition, speaking from personal experiences the way most students communicate with each other is via technology. Mobile phones and facebook are essential if you want to keep in touch with and communicate with others. Again something which a neo-luddite would find difficult.
Whether we are to question Prensky's generalised notion of 'digital immigrants' and 'digital natives' or not, one could argue that technology is vital to not only pass your university course, but to communicate with fellow students and keep in touch with friends. Do you think you would survive as a student without technology?
