Again guys, technology is as only as good as the ethics of the people that invent it and use it. Technology also was used by Hitler and Stalin to do what they did. And even today, fossil fuel CEOs lie about the damage their products do. Nadar took on the auto industry in the 70s to face them with their bad products.
I am glad I don't have to shit in an outhouse. I am glad I didn't have to sail on boat for months to get to Australia. But even our modern technology has a downside. That same technology has allowed humans to produce throw away crap that ends up in landfills and in our oceans. It allows our species to produce pollution faster than the planet can naturally absorb it.
Our species is very capable of inventing and problem solving. But at the same time, we are also full of greed and lust for power. It is still up to humans how technology is used. That is why I say technology is neither good or bad, but humans are good and bad and both good and bad people use the same technology.
