The technological way of thinking has infected even ethics, which is supposed to be thinking about the good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Technology is an interesting subject, people thinking: how much good, and how much bad, does it inherently carry?
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.
With any advent in technology, any technological innovation, there is the good and the bad.
Research has been called good business, a necessity, a gamble, a game. It is none of these - it's a state of mind.
The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.
There's no question that as science, knowledge and technology advance, that we will attempt to do more significant things. And there's no question that we will always have to temper those things with ethics.
There are a few dogmas and double standards and really regrettable exports from philosophy that have confounded the thinking of scientists on the subject of morality.
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.
There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
I mean, technology is amoral. It has no morality.
