Just to clarify, the Catholic Church did not destroy printing presses during the Reformation. Quite the contrary, the Church embraced the technology for its own purposes. (Disseminate Catholic doctrine). No a good example of hating on technology.
I wonder whether there is any technology that you could think of as actually dangerous and worthy to be prevented. As in: A new technology can't always be good, right?
Also: would these technologies then get stuck in say the middle section of your graph? I stumbled upon nuclear power being positioned a little to far to the right for my taste and then thought that it probably also won't get nowhere further as long as there is no good solution to the problem of nuclear waste repository.
True. The amount of scams coming out of the development of crypto, AI, and self driving is very concerning. Constant false promises, and goals that are mostly to put people out of work and create a even bigger wealth divide dosent seem like a future most creatives and designers would want to live in.
Agreed with all. Seeing technology develop is a stroke of luck for every generation. I remember (and still have) the first 3D printed object I made over 12 years ago. It's a very human feeling to let our imagination soar after an impactful new tool, to look beyond.
