Anyone who argues against this is pretty dumb. Look at what medicine has been able to achieve in the last decades thanks to technological innovations (robotic non-invasive surgeries, genome mapping, stem cell research, targeted cancer therapies just to name a few). Not to mention how it has benefited every industry in existence today and has greatly improved quality of life and simultaneously increasing life expectancy.
But some people are addicted to being on their iphones so I guess that means technology is bad?
I dont think it's that cut and dry or so simple. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just dont think its easy to say one way or the other.
Overpopulation is a result of it that I think of. Pollution is a result of it. I'm no expert and not the Unabomber, but I think you could make a reasonable case that would argue against technology.

At what point do you sacrifice quality/longevity of life to combat overpopulation and pollution is, I guess, the question

Sounds about right. Human nature being what it is, we aren't going to stop until something stops us.

Think about how fricked we would be without the internet, smart phones, GPS, and all that.
We were never fricked before them.
