Is technology beneficial or destructive for man kind (jeremyw)

My ideas for this essay will support both views between the beneficial aspects and the destructive aspects of technology. My thesis statement will begin with "Is technology beneficial or destructive to mankind". I will be using most of my examples from the Stephen King short stories "The Jaunt" and "The Mist". Ill will be using history to support my ideas with the examples, like Alfred Noble the man who the Noble Peace Prize was named after, He created dynamite for the purpose of serving mankind like in mining but instead his own creation has been synthesized to be used as explosive devices for war. Or the Rockefellers who helped create the atomic bomb but now has one of the largest humanitarian organizations in america. The creation of plastics that are used in creating medical equipment, blood bags, i.v. tubes, surgical tubing and etc, are also used in weapons manufacture like gun stocks, bomb bodies, containers for biological weapons. Among other things is my essay will also use the effect that technology will have on the enviroment, like global warming, weather change, smog in industrial areas. I will also include how technology can fix the damages that it has done, like reversing global warming, producing more free energy, and recycling 99% of all the waste we have made. Bottom line is technology beneficial or destructive to mankind well thier is no real answer for the question because we need technology now in our daily lives , Its not technology that is destructive or beneficial,its how we use the technology is what counts
