Technology is a two edged sword. We are both blessed and cursed by the advances we have made in the last century, yet we don't always see it that way. We converge onto the adverse aspects of electronics constantly and leave very little room to marvel at the miracles they bring. Visions of a Star Trek utopian have been left behind and nightmares of terminators replace them. Such thoughts can be harmful because we truly have advanced as a species and accomplished miracles. Although technology brings set-backs, we should never forget the growth it has also given us.
I've long held that every technology can and will be weaponized. I yes I do mean *every* technology, all the way back to wheels and agriculture. I think it's always been the case that people tend to focus too much on the negatives of new technology.
