Technology is almost always a value-neutral proposition. At first I agreed with that. OK, three response for the price of one.
Technology is never a value-neutral proposition.
The technology which we employ determines the material possibilities which are available to use. And organising society in order to make more effective use of one technique always either advantages or disadvantages the use of another technique in some way. Of course, this is one of the striking aspects of much mainstream economic reasoning about technological change and economic development. Widening road to accomodate one technical solution to transportation advantages some technical solutions to problems in other areas, and disadvantages some technical solutions to problems in other areas. Anyone who has gotten off a bus to walk a half a block through a parking lot to get from the street to the entry to a shopping mall has experienced the spill over among different aspects of internal combustion technology.
