I mean, every complex large-scale change to society has upsides and downsides. Very few things are purely good. So it makes very little sense just to name the upsides and pretend it's all good, or just to name the downsides and pretend it's all bad. You need to do the actual cost-benefit analysis.

And when you do, net-net, generally speaking, technological progress does does much more good for humanity than bad, even though there is some bad.

We tend to get things that make our lives easier, more efficient, safer, and more comfortable at ever cheaper prices.
