Is technology always a good/bad thing?

Question

Is technology always a good/bad thing?

Answer 1

I like to think about technology as what make our lives today bearable, it's the greatest thing that happened to the human kind ever, just imagine you had to ask your dad or mom some embarrassing question or some friend, you wouldn't, you would rather go yahoo answers and get it there, hospitals college communication, our daily life, in each second micro second, you have technology doing some nasty hard boring things for you, you never have to worry about anything technology take care of it all,

the only sad thing that I can think of in the subject of technology, is war, with every achievement we make, we serve also war flag holders, and the really sad thing about it is that most of today's technologies have been made to destroy opponents, think of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but this is life and nobody can get rid of side effects even if it is disastrous.

so in general technology is good if it is used with caution

Answer 2

technology is the reason for the downfall of the human race. thats why we have so many obiese people. I can name the worst invention in history... the convetional microwave. why do you ask... because before the microwave we would have to gather wood to make a fire to cook the meals. it would take a couple of hours maybe but you would have the satisfaction of knowing that you did it. but now u just pop something in the microwave and its done in 2 minutes. pretty soon robots will be doing everything so there will really be no more need for human workers. except for people who fix broken robots.  i can go on and on but i don't need to... just think about it

Answer 3

There's no single answer to it. Take human cloning as an example there're still debates on it. And the time machine thing, it's just another unresolved matter.

Answer 4

Neither...

Answer 5

can't group all technology so

Answer 6

depends - like if someone invented a spouse machine that can get rid of your spouse without any trace - that be a good thing - it would be a bad thing if my wife got it first

Answer 7

Technology is neither good nor bad.

Our use of Technology can be Good or Bad.

Biotechnology could be used to change for the

worse humans or just wipe us out like some bad

science fiction movie OR it could be used to eliminate birth defects and get rid of diseases like AIDS.

Technology and knowledge are not the problem, we are.
