Software engineers don't hate technology.
We hate software that doesn't even approximate the free/open software ideals that attracted us to the field in the first place.
I've collected some expressions of disappointment from others in the field.

I don't hate technology; in fact, I enjoy writing software, tinkering, building useful things that help people... what I hate is the corporate and profit-seeking structure built up around software development. My priorities are less defined by user need, and more defined by a group of people whose goals revolve around finding ways to squeeze money out of people. I do hate that.
