The people who really expect us to be happier because of technology are perhaps expecting too much. And I think people who expect us to necessarily be demoralized, dehumanized by technology are equally if not even more wrong. I think technology overall is a good thing to have when used well, and even when we don't use it well, it's still better to have that choice. So what I'm trying to say there is that we get opportunities and possibilities from technology, but nothing more than that. I like to say this another way, too.
Technology is a kind of thinking.
And in fact I think it's like a solid thought. Now, when someone has a bad idea, the response is not to stop thinking. The response to a bad idea is a better idea. The response to bad technology or technology that doesn't work or technology that costs too much or has too many side effects is not no technology. It's better technology.
