It's not that it's always good, bad or anything else. It is simply inevitable.
Technology is not a living thing and it has no will. We are andromorphizing the collective behavior of lots of people. It's the people with curiosity, drive, ambition to achieve something, like build a tool that can think and perform like a brain.
So progress is inevitable because people push it forward to satisfy their own internal drives. Changing this requires changing people's drives. Given the current dominant economic model, that's close to impossible because this is exactly what it is prioritizing, contribution and progress at any cost to anyone.
