Although I think the overall effect of technology is good, there are clearly dangers and drawbacks. Every new technology breeds unanticipated or unwanted side effects. For instance, the Industrial Revolution, while reducing manual labor in the long run, had and still has many negative consequence, such as pollution, child labor, and sweatshop conditions.

Interestingly, public concerns about nuclear power have gone the other way though. When nuclear power was first developed, most people embraced the new technology until they became more aware of the potential hazards.
