Is technology beneficial or detrimental to humanity? I must say that my view on this subject leans more to beneficial than detrimental because of all the great technology that we have today does benefits us in one way or another. I couldn't imagine if someone were to take away the goodies that we enjoy when it comes to technology and we have to live like they did hundreds of years ago. I mean, can you imagine getting around in a horse and carriage or living without air conditioning? I think, we as a society today take for granted the great technology that we enjoy.
I don't see much harm in technology today if anything, the harm from technology is usually caused by human error.
In the short stories "The Mangler" and "Trucks," we read that technology comes alive. For instance, in"The Mangler" a demon takes possession of a dry cleaning machine and kills more than once. In the short story "Trucks," we read that all types of machinery have come to life and threatens all mankind. These stories are really good but, I like the short story "The Jaunt" best. Can you imagine traveling by a way similar to the jaunt. The consequences of not taking the gas doesn't sound good though.

i believe i would agree with you on technolgy being beneficial. i mean there really arent that many bad things with technolgy. so technolgy is very beneficial.
It is also great in our cars now days. all cars now are full of computers and technolgy. back in the day they were plain nothing on them. those cars were a pain to mess with and drive.
technolgy is also very good in medicine today. people used to die of the common cold and now it is nothing to worry about. people can just go to the store and pull it off the shelf. and with the "Mangler" and "Trucks" that is just a rare case of them getting possesed and needing things. that stuff isnt real. so there for technolgy is a good thing
I agree with you on techology because we can fight illness and create more drugs to help the humans with very bad health problems.
