In the 70s when the synthesizer first started getting widely used the British Musicians Union tried to introduce a ban on using synths in clubs saying they were putting other musicians out of work by replacing them with synth parts. Obviously this was short sighted and didn't last for very long. There is always a backlash against new technology but there really is no stopping it.
