Quote by Rick Smolan
Every time there's a new tool, whether it's Internet or cell phones or anything else, all these things can be used for good or evil. Technology is neutral; it depends on how it's used.
Summary
This quote highlights the idea that technological advancements are inherently neutral and carry no inherent moral value. The moral implications of technology arise from the intentions and actions of its users. For instance, the internet and cell phones can be utilized for positive purposes such as education, communication, and progress, but they can also be misused for harmful activities. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the individuals wielding these tools to consciously decide how they will use them, as technology alone does not determine whether it will be a force for good or evil.
