Technology in the Dystopian Novel

One of the things they talk about in the article is a technophile, someone who loves technology, vs a technophobe, someone who fears technology. Should technology be feared though, should we stop it, or let it grow? Personally, I’ve always been one who seeks the advancement of technology, rather than avoid it. Without the advancements of technology we would’ve never gone to the moon, we would’ve never found cures, or vaccines for various diseases, or invented the cellphone. Technology is what allows use to help and communicate from a long distance quickly, but it can also be harmful. People use them as weapons to kill, or use them to spy on other people. In my opinion though, technology that's used to harm is just a step up from the last piece of technology, a sword does the same thing as a gun, just more effective. Technology should not be feared, but appreciated.
