Describe the daily frustrations of a fictional neo-luddite at university now in the UK

The term "neo-Luddite" is often deployed by advocates of technology to describe persons or organizations that resist technological advances. Fact. But to make this more interesting, I think it might be better to put this into perspective by writing a fictional blog entry to demonstrate a neo-luddite's difficulty at uni.

Meet Eddie. Eddie is a simple kinda guy, likes the sea, but detestes the sand between his toes. He is out there. Eddie is about to begin his life at uni. But the thing with Eddie is he is a bit of a neo-luddite. He only managed to apply to go to uni via UCAS because he paid his mates to fill in the form online. And Eddie is yet to realise that the Student Loans Company didn't recieve his letter by post. Eddie didn't realise he had to fill out an online application form. Eddie doesn't like being online.

Eddie is running late for his first lecture as he didn't know how to set his alarm on his phone, and Eddie's usual alarm clock, his mum, isn't there. Next problem Eddie realises is that he hasn't got a timetable for uni. Eddie heard something about printing a timetable off in the library with his unique password and pin. But Eddie doesn't have a unique password in pin. So Eddie sets off in the hope he will find his class. When Eddie gets to class 40 minutes late that day, his tutor tells him to exchange contact details with his peers. But Eddie doesn't have contact details. Eddie hasn't used MSN before. Eddie doesn't even know what Facebook is. Eddie's new classmates seem nice nonetheless, and tell Eddie to get Facebook and MSN, and want Eddie to set up his library user account.

But Eddie is a neo-luddite. A week later, Eddie managed to set up a library user account, with the help of a classmate. Eddie has MSN, but doesn't remember his password, and Facebook proved a diasaster for Eddie. He clicked 'poke' next to some girls name. Eddie didn't realise this is a no-go, being a neo-luddite and all that jazz. The girl now thinks Eddie is a weird boy, who wants to 'poke' her. Eddie is doing the Media culture and communications course, and is already behind, as Eddie doesn't know how to access MC Home.

Eddie is a funny guy though. Eddie makes his tutors laugh. Eddie asked them why they had to study an E-Book. Eddie's mum told him not to do drugs. Eddie also wondered why a modern uni like Lincoln still used a blackboard. Eddie still hadn't seen this blackboard his peers were discussing. Eddie did have a bit of success in his first term though. Eddie thought so. Eddie's Panda Pops label said Eddie had won the competition. All Eddie had to do was enter his unique code online. Eddie never knew if he won. Eddie was a neo-luddite. Eddie will need lots of luck if he is going to get to level 2 and Blogging.
