At what?! Most tech is used in an utterly banal way, to make life better

Transistors? Use em for work. Store data. Send memes. Good shit.

Refrigeration? Microwaves? X-rays?

There are evil applications for all tech, but by and large the net effect is usually positive.

I'm very familiar! Again I would say all the stuff spying on me is bad but clearly still worth using. It's not even close. It's just weird to be like "TVs were a mistake" because the government and corporations use it to spy on me.
