Optimism and pessimism are both biases. Technology is amoral, and has the potential to be wielded for both 'bad' and 'good' - in whatever moral framework you live by. I think it makes sense to at least be vigilant about emerging and present technologies so that proper attitudes/policies can be developed towards their better potentials, and maybe mitigate some negative outcomes. That's not to say you can't acknowledge the 'good' outcomes.
