What caused the negative attitude towards technical progress on the part of the participants in the uprising?

A specific example needs to be considered here. You need to take into account a specific country and year. If we consider the situation in general, then the opposition to technical progress has always been observed, even in our time. This is due to people’s fear of something new, basic ignorance and prejudice. This was also influenced by many orthodox religions. Until recently, many religions do not accept the latest technical progress and scientific discoveries. This was especially observed in the Middle Ages.
