Technological evolution is the result of our own desire to lead a better life.

Any technological advance can be dangerous. Fire was dangerous from the start, and so (even more so) was speech - and both are still dangerous to this day - but human beings would not be human without them.

The intentions of a tool are what it does. A hammer intends to strike, a vise intends to hold fast, a lever intends to lift. They are what it is made for. But sometimes a tool may have other uses that you don't know. Sometimes in doing what you intend, you also do what the knife intends, without knowing.

Progress is not alone a matter of technology.

History's greatest composers would be appalled to hear their greatest works reduced to distorted hold music for businesses.
