Technology: Good or Bad?

Technology like most other human inventions has a negative and a positive side. I agree with Neil Postman in that both sides of the affect have to be questioned. But I also believe that the negative effects are the consequences of the actions of those few people who choose to do so. We cannot blame just the technology in this matter because it’s the conscience of the humans who try to harm the society that is to blame. Recently people have been talking about privacy and piracy issues brought by the evolving internet. But we cannot just forget about the benefits we are receiving from the internet and merely focus on the negative side to deem it bad for society. The benefits we have received from the development of internet are far more than negative things brought by it. In conclusion, it is human action that is defining advantage or disadvantage of new technology. We should check our behavior rather than complain about technology.
