Technology Is Neither Good nor Bad, nor Is It Neutral

The historian of technology Melvin Kranzberg once said, “Technology is neither good nor bad, nor is it neutral.” Technology has no inherent moral character, yet its effects can be enormous. The companies that control it have a duty to anticipate what a new technology will do. Using technology for good is a social obligation, beyond any individual sense of purpose.
