Technology is bad

[Huhuh]

Yes, it can be erroneously reduced to that. "Guns don't kill, people do", yet there are more murders pr. capita in the US than in gun-restricted Scandinavia. Most of which are carried out with firearms. Go figure.

Technology enables people to do catastrophic things on a scale never seen before. Technology has made total devastation of the planet in a matter of hours possible, and introduced a lot of other risks to the society and the environment.

So it's good to be cautious and not just take a back-seat approach, no?

Technology also enables people to do good. Without enhancements in farming and medicine, the extra 5 billion people we put on the planet in the last 200 years wouldn't be here.

It's not like there was no crime before the industrial revolution.
