Technology is neither Good or Evil, it's the users.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
Internet didn't make you click-n-watch pr0n. You clickie clickied to watch pr0n.
etc.

O_o, wow. It depends on how you look at it. if you see it fomr the point of view of communication and accsess to information then it is good if you look at it for portable media, or entertainment in the home it is good. if you look at it for the many people that have been harmed by the internet, or the amount of deaths caused by new wepaon tech then it is bad. make up your own mind on it

Good it's humans who use technology for malicious purposes when considered bad.

I personally think that tech is a great thing to have in all of our lives. Imagine living in the caveman times, without cars, without television,or ANYTHING. I would just get bored out of my mind.

Technology is like anything else... By itself, it's not good or bad.

People can be good or bad.

They can use technology or knowledge for good or bad reasons.

It's that simple.

technology is a major advance our world has done. it is a good thing. technology is not bad. it is some people who misuse it and hack people's bank accounts and give people viruses that delete all of their documents and music and photos. technology is good. some users are bad.

while I agree with you that it is not technology that is bad rather some people misuse this technology to do bad things. What I am wondering though is with the advances we are making in technology and our ability to destroy our way of life, our society, even our world with this technology in the wrong hands. Would we have been better off not opening the box and letting this power out to be used or misused.

It is both. Bot useful to us to discover and find out more but it also kills people that are not aware.

Tech is Good, People are BAD! lol

Seriously, Tech can be used for good or bad but most people will tend to use it incorrectly so it seems evil. Take for instance copyright infringement when a movie or audio file is downloaded that is brand new, that copying tends to cost the artist or performers money since they do not get paid for the recording. Personally I perform every week in Church and we always pay copyright payments whenever we use copyrighted music. Tech. helps us to keep track of our copyright requirements and payments.

We use tech for good but the opposite is more of the norm.

Technology isn't really good, but it's not really bad either. It's like a president, in sorts. Some good things come out of it, and some bad things come out of it.

Technology is in the most part good. It helps us communicate and travel. As well as make beautiful art. I would call it good more than I would call it bad.
