Your central claim: "I believe that generally speaking, technology tends to "bring good things to life" ;) "
But then you add an if: If only capitalism did not exist.d
Now that is ot a direct quote. You too got pretty fucking wordy at this point. You wrote:
" - if applied in a socially and environmentally conscious manner."
That's one hell of a big if. Of course things would be good if they were good. And then you go on:
"I think that negative effects of most technologies, including hype and techno-utopia, are the product of capitalism"
But of course that where we live: in capitalism. So all you've been doing is spinning an empty fancy abaout what might be. Alan wfas a bit to mild in his description of the supreme silliness of this.
Then you go on to define c apitalism in simplistic and moralistic terms:
"- that is profiteering and marketing --"
And then you end:
" rather than the technology itself."
In other words, bullets would be harmless if no one loaded guns with them. That is true enough, but would, substantively, have you said other thn "This would be a better world if it were a better world."
Come off it.
