I like this take. Hard to call a guy a luddite who chooses not to use technology only so he himself can learn more.
Although, if you judged someone else for using a translator instead of learning multiple language though you'd circle right back to luddite because then you'd be shaming the use of technology at that point.
I'm thinking learning is great but people only have so much sand in their hourglass to spend and even if they aren't studying Portuguese they could be studying something else instead.
Also a universal translator can't exist because if you made one I'd invent a dumb language just to say the device can't interpret it.
