nouns - What word is the opposite of Luddite?
Single word, please, preferably one derived from someone's name.
Answer
Since Luddite describes the followers of one Ned Ludd who lead a movement against industrialization and in particular mechanized looms in 1811 or so, I will propose Cartwrightian since Edward (Edmund) Cartwright patented the power loom in 1785 and so his designs or variations thereon would probably have been the ones being destroyed by the Luddites.
But that may be too obscure for your use so technophile may be more appropriate.
