Technology, we find, amplifies behaviours. If you want to be anti-social, technology allows you to be. And vice versa.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we want technology to serve society rather than enslave it, we have to build systems accessible to all people - be they male or female, young, old, disabled, computer wizards or technophobes.
Technologies tend to undermine community and encourage individualism.
Technology is the fashion of the '90s. It affects everyone, and everyone is interested in it - either from fear of being left behind or because they have a real need to use technology.
The human race is already social, and the smartphone has everything needed to enable them to act on their social needs.
In the 21st century, you have to use technology as one of the tools in the toolkit to bring about social change.
Technology does more than delight, entertain and make our lives more convenient, it's also an agent for social good. That is why it's important for tech startups to stay informed about, and make a mark on, policies that impact them.
There are no morals about technology at all. Technology expands our ways of thinking about things, expands our ways of doing things. If we're bad people we use technology for bad purposes and if we're good people we use it for good purposes.
I think that technologies are morally neutral until we apply them. It's only when we use them for good or for evil that they become good or evil.
It is only by the rational use of technology; to control and guide what technology is doing; that we can keep any hopes of a social life more desirable than our own: or in fact of a social life which is not appalling to imagine.
People see technology as something that will ruin society and culture, but I've always embraced technology.
