This is an age old question which we have been listening to since we were kids! This is some thing like asking if Knife is good or bad! In fact knife has got nothing to do with the quality attributed it, it is the user that makes it bad or good. A knife in a surgeon's hand saves the life of a man while the same takes the life a man if it is in the hand of a murderer.

Similarly technology is very good if we use it in a constructive way and for the welfare of mankind. The same will be bad if abused.In conclusion we can say it all depends on us how we use technology to make it good or bad!

It is our use of technology that determines whether it is good or bad. Just like anything else overuse and misuse will have damaging effects. On one hand technology can be used to enhance lives and on the other it can be used to destroy.

Yes, intrinsically, Technology has nothing good or bad.
We have nuclear power- which we can put for use in electricity generation or for medical purpose. Or for making bombs.
We have dynamite, which can be used to blast big rocks to help in mining, or blast enemy targets.
So, it is up to us as to how we use the Technology.

This question has always been asked time and again for years together.I am sure this question will be asked in the future too.The reason is the new research and advancement in technology.Most of the times people who are averse to any kind of change raise there voice against any kind of technological advancement.
On the other hand there is also another side to this debate. There is always the risk of new technology being misused by some unscrupulous elements for there nefarious purposes.
Technological advances in various fields like agriculture, textile mills,mining has undoubtedly resulted in loss of work opportunities for skilled labour.
But when we think of all the pros and cons of Technology,undoubtedly the positive points far outweigh the negative points.
Therefore we must all embrace the changes in technology that happen around us and use it to our advantage.

Definitely, technology has its own pros and cons. It’s just a matter of how we handle/use it. Plus, don’t be too addicted to your gadgets.

Well, it is the use of Technology and not the Technology itself that is good or bad. We can use Technology to make Bombs, Missiles, Nuclear Weapons and destructive systems, or make advanced medicines, Robots for complex works, clean environment and so on.

Technology is not a good or bad thing.. It's up to users like us who makes a thing good or bad.. We need not to use every tech product available in market.. We should only use those we really need.. But people buy unnecessary products and make themselves lazy and unhealthy. Like, dishwasher is a thing which should be used to wash lots of dishes.. But some people are using it because they think it's luxurious. And thet can't even wash 2-3 dish themselves.. People should know their limits of using technology.

Long answer short:Technology and Progress is unarguably good. HOWEVER not all people can adapt or actually know how to properly use it examample: Parents that don't know to childblock.

Everything has a good and a bad side, so does technology. I always love looking at its bad side and try to avoid its bad side.
