Why Technology is Bad

For the purposes of this blog, I will define technology as such: Any and all man-made constructions with an electronic component, i.e. cars, computers, light bulbs, space stations, etc.

Technology is evil. Ah, but let us back up a second. What is "bad," anyways? For the purposes of this blog, I will define it as such: Anything which harms nature, wastes limited resources, brings harm to innocent lives, etc. And so, how is technology evil? Let us look. Because of the requirements of technology, irreplaceable resources must be used with reckless abandon. Coal must be burned for electricity, oil must be drilled for to run our cars, forests must be burnt down for the paper on which to record all this "progress." The usage of this technology destroys the Earth. Moreover, as technology makes human life easier, it also makes it longer, allowing individuals to cause more damage over the course of a lifetime. In the pursuit of technology, mankind has abandoned their home, and this is why technology is a bad thing. However, in such terms, it seems like humanity itself is a bad thing. And so it is, from the perspective of everything that isn't a human.

But more on the human perspective later.
