Quite the deluded and hypocritical take. The author focuses exclusively on the negative aspects of technology while ignoring all of its positive benefits. Even the fact that he's using technology in both writing and publishing this essay is framed as valiantly attacking the machine from within. No doubt our world is far from perfect, but does he honestly believe destruction of technology would somehow magically improve the situation, when we know from history that our technological past was full of just as much, if not more, unnecessary suffering than the present? Vigilance is necessary, yes. Reducing our reliance on fickle technology is valuable, yes. Practicing mindfullness, in our use of technology as in other aspects of everyday life, is beneficial, yes. But, no, destruction is not merited.
