Technology and its discontents
Nuclear bombs can destroy us. Facebook undermines our
privacy. Artificial intelligence (AI) and robots can enslave
us (or, worse, take our jobs). Synthetic biology and geneediting
have humans playing God. Social media make us
depressed: we’ve never been so connected yet never so
alone.
Those are just a few of the complaints leveled
against technology. For most of human history, however, technology was mostly seen as a force for
good. More people would live because of technical progress, from refrigeration to vaccination, than
perish because of it, despite lethal inventions such as gunpowder.
