Why hate tech?

Tweet

don't understand why i keep hearing people say how much they hate technology. The leaps and bounds we have made to make lives better through technology is outstanding, from simple things like finding good sources through google to 3d printers making prosthetics completely customized to individual people AND animals. On top of that progress, the internet helps spread an abundance of information through things as simple as articles, how-to videos, and chat rooms across the world to free classes on almost any subject, free documentaries, and websites that will link you to sources if you need help. Free language classes can be taught by native speakers without having to travel. Free tutors willing to help teach almost any subject. Almost any information is available through the internet. Literally, any subject can be explored and learned about. Without the internet, this information could be a lot harder for the average person to get a hold of. Some subjects may even be extremely difficult to learn about, such as languages, sexual education, and certain religions. I have been to several libraries when i was younger, both public and school libraries. They had absolutely no information on certain subjects. Anything related to certain religions, sexual education, and a vast array of other subjects was nowhere to be seen because they could not afford the books, nobody had donated them, or they didn't think they were important enough to take up space. Not to mention that online I have met more diverse groups of people and been able to learn about their cultures directly from individuals, instead of through a rich traveler or a filtered text book. I have also been able to stay connected with family members that I would not be able to even talk to, if not for the internet. There is an abundance of support groups full of people from across the world, for almost anything from mental illness to addiction to loss. A ridiculous amount of information right at your fingertips waiting to be found. Why would someone hate something that spreads such an abundance of free knowledge and connectivity? Why would someone have an issue with something that is improving the condition of life overall?
