People will always use technology for negative purposes as long as it can help them get ahead in the short term and they aren't held accountable for the long-term consequences.
Technology is not fine. Not all of it is bad, but to say all of it is fine makes no sense. Yes, we have a mental and health education problem, but it's reasonable to have rules for all societies. Limiting technology that makes getting ahead too easy makes sense because even in the most utopian and good societies, if gaining something is TOO EASY, then it WILL be taken.
It's much too simplistic to frame technology as fine. If all technology is fine, perhaps every corner store should sell automatic weapons? Can you imagine a society, ANY society, in which this makes sense?
Technology is never a problem. Automatic weapons can also be used in defense. Someone with a knife wouldn’t be able to confront a mass killer with a rifle.
You are talking about mental problem. Do you know what have contributed to mental problem ever since the existence of human being? Isolation and loneliness, which technologies such as telephone, email and yes, social network can help with.
Name any technology that should be banned, and I can give you a reason why it should be not.
Nowhere did OP suggest limiting tech, they suggested we are not ready to handle the powers we are gaining responsibily.
Your point seems in agreement with this to a degree.
More importantly, you claim it to be a mental health/education issue; yet you can't show me a period of human history without wars and power struggles.
Technology is fine. It’s this artificial cookie-cutter society we’re forcing on everyone. We have a mental health and education problem.
The tech isn’t the issue, it’s the people who feel the need to use it for negative purposes.
Limiting tech is just a bandaid.
