May I differ. Technology was never meant to cure human ills. The
tragedy is that technology was supposed to enhance human capabilities
but instead stymied them. This is the difference between IA
(intelligence amplification) in which technology is a bicycle, and AI
(artificial intelligence) in which it is a crutch.
Why technology has its iatrogenic effect is a great question of our
time. Does it always? Or are we uniquely misusing it?
With regard to amplifying shame, it merely acts as it does to amplify
any human sentiments and ideas.
Technology giveth, and technology taketh away (Postman).
