Technology is not neutral

So does this tech forum mean we can talk about power tools?

That would be boring.

I think this is pretty much true and gave it a thumbs up to offset the haters. In particular, there is a trend now to let the tools of technology use us, rather than us using the tools.

That's not the technology's fault.

Modern dentistry and hydrogen bombs are a package deal. You cannot have one without the other.

Sure, of course. The question then is, do the benefits of technology outweigh the drawbacks?

For the moment, it would seem that they do. However, if we end up obliterating ourselves in a massive nuclear exchange, then that will prove we were better off without it.

I never said it was...it's up to the user to use tools smartly.
