I'm not sure about all technology. The technology that does actual things, like motors, pumps, lights etc is helpful. It's the men that take those things and misuse it for more power. We're approaching the time at which people will start questioning those who misuse the technology. Maybe if it happened earlier, slavery etc wouldn't have happened. But we are still too stupid in that we support the deranged bullies who bring us more crap technology that gives them more power.
Writing for example, was a technology that started off with control of people- even before the printing press. It's only around now that we can start questioning the written word- history- science- etc. Before it was difficult to find alternative sources.
Technics is important. How technology develops in a given culture is too. Questioning the speed of technology adaption is important. Questioning types of technology is important. A civilization can do as China did and become prey-China forbade sailing due to a land based dynasty turning away from the sea. A civilization can do as the American and embrace it all to include cloning.
