my response.
technology has always favoured man, whether it is the making of the nuclear weapons or the making of the vaccines. although, few critics says that the thinking ability of man has deteriorated because of the excessive dependency on the technology, but what they didn't considered that the dependency is merely used to soothe the thinking in a fast and easy way.
as through technology like that of the mobile phones a mother living in Melbourne can talk to her son who is studying in Massachusetts directly. like old times she doesn't have to write the letters and post them and then wait for the days to get the reply from her son.same way, a husband can tell her wife when he'll at home taking a bus and when he is running late can use a cab to reach home on time.
from above example, it is certainly clear that these are the daily used technologies that have increased the time savings and divert these saved time in more important innovations of the technology. for example, the heavily usage of cars for transportation and for conveyance has let to the shortage of the fuels available on the earth to use by mankind, but the use of technology and by the time saved by the already using technology, man has find the new way. the new way is the use of solar energy instead of fuel.engineers have made the new tech-savvy engines that may also run on solar energy when fuel is not available.
furthermore, like the solar engines, man has touched the skies by using the very common and user friendly mobile phone for the greater good. the fight for the nirbhya in India was ignited by this simple device, connecting thousands of the people, joining voices for the revolution. this let to the change in existing laws and forced the lawmakers to enhance the new law.
one must also look at the advancement in the security and the new weapons that are being made using the tech. it may be the ak-47, or the jet planes, governments can protect theirs countries from war and enemies intruders any time. the making of the new nuclear weapons has taken the advancement to a new level.
adding to this, last century the epidemic of chicken pox, took half of the worlds population, and polio which took thousands of children to death. invention of vaccines helped to eradicate these diseases, which was made by using technology.
changing laws to the changing use of power to making vaccines, technology has always favoured man, and always will. problems were there earlier and problems will be there in the future, technology helps man to survive and live happily with the new inventions. thus, technology does not deteriorate the thinking to solve the problems but it helps to solve them.
