A little nuance though, some technology does lend itself to more good or more ill. Like a combine harvestor can cause harm if the technology is used to prop up an exploitative empire and jealously guarded, but it’s much easier for a nuclear bomb to cause harm.

I’ve seen some reductionism taking your reasonable point (tech isn’t inherently one or the other) to mean the stronger and imho worse position “technology is morally neutral”.

Personaly I think smartphone are tech to be cautious around because while remote communication is obviously incredible, bundling it with general purpose computing comes with a lot of hazard. We ought to be able to heavily curtail the harm though by removing incentives for addictive design.
